The population of the Central Provinces and Berar approaches thatof Brazil; Hyderaliad and Burma have as many inhabitants as Egypt, CentralIndia and Rajputana as Scotland and Ireland combined, and Assam as the whole Empire there are on the average 175 persons to the square mile,or much the .same as in Europe outside Russia. In British territory the numberto the square mile is 223 and in the Native States 100; the former figureexceeds by 34 the density ratio in France and the latter is identical with that inSpain. • The Spares for the Portuguese Possessions are provisional. The results of the detailed tahulation for Goanere not nrailable whin this Chapter went to AREA, POPULATION AND DENSITY. 13 ( There are great- local variations in density. In nearly two-thirds of the•districts and States the number of persons to the square mile is less than 200, andin about a quarter it ranges from 200 to 500. The units with less than 100persons to the square mile cover two-fifths of the total area but contain onlyone-eleventh of the population, Avhile those with more than 500, though theirarea is only one-eleventh of the whole, contain one-third of tlie centre of the population, that is to say, the point of intersection of twolines drawn, the one north and south and the other east and Avest, each dividingthe pojnilation of India into two equal parts, is at the southern extremitvof thePanna State in the Central India Agencv, in 23° 49 N. and 80° E. 14.
