The former represents the prpulation of the district compiled from the village Feturps of 1869, added up afresh in 1871; the latter gives the figures in the Oudh cen- sue report, the discrepancy cannot be acounted for except by clerical errors in the cen- sus report, Occupation of the people.--According to the census returns 33 per cent. of the Hindus and 54 per cent of the Muhanımadans are not engaged in agricultural pursuits, but it is doubtful whether this retum is correct, there being hardly any manufactures and little trade to employ such a large proportion of the people.
