individuals, and even sometimes of a single man or woman. Statistics as such possess no value for the native authorities; all they want to know is the number of taxable inhabitants. And in the matter of irrigation too it is more important to know the number of farms that require water than the number of the individual inhabitants.
The list which follows below contains the names of various villages picked out at random from amongst those at which I was told the number of ujlik. Upon this basis I have calculated the number of the inhabitants by taking an average of 4 persons for each ujlik:
Kan-arik 6000 Simlik • 400
Fajs-abad 3200 Oj-toghrak 28o
Kara-kum 3000 Schinalgha 200
Mudschi 2000 *Ala-ajghir 120
Posgham 1600 Ajsa-tscheke 50
Kalta-natschuk I000 Jas-julghun 50
Katschung Boo Tschigelik-uj 5o
Psän 600 Kadike 40
Sanguja 600 Islam-abad 3o
I have divided these inhabited
places into three classes, (I) large villages with woo to 6000 inhabitants; (2)

But if we start from the assumption, that the large villages are relatively few, and the small villages more numerous, so that, for instance, one large village is equivalent to two moderate-sized villages or to four small ones, in such wise that the entire country should possess zoo large, 400 medium-sized, and 800 small villages, with an average of 2700, 48o, and 57 inhabitants for each class of village, then the total village population would amount to 777,000. Here there is ample room for guesswork: for instance, if we suppose that the average number of persons to an ujlik is 8 instead of 4, then the total, on the basis of calculation last adopted, is 1,554,000. It would however be wiser to assign a mean of 25o households to each of the 1400 villages, giving 4 individuals to each household or family, so that the total works out at 1,400,000; which may be rounded off at I '/2 ' millions after we have allowed for the numerous unnamed farms that occur singly between the separate villages, especially in the relatively more densely populated districts, and more particularly if we count amongst the villages such large places as Kara-kasch, Jurun-kasch, Baj, Tscharklik, Avat, etc.
Jarkent, with the villages in its environs, is estimated to have a population of 200,000; the half of this I would assign to the city itself and the villages immediately adjacent to it.
