STATISTICAL ABSTRACT

FOR

BRITISH INDIA.

FOREWORD.

In this publication, the statistics relating to Agriculture and Co-operative Societies generally relate to the year running from July to June. All the other tables relate either to the fiscal year or to the calendar year, and where the latter is the case it is clearly indicated in the tables. The alterations and additions made in the present issue of the Abstract are noticed below:

(1) The following new tables have been introduced:

No. 247, Balance of Trade.

No. 251, Rail-borne Trade at Stations adjacent to Land
Frontier routes.

No. 281, Post Office-Capital Account-Expenditure.

(2) Certain additions and alterations have been made as stated below :—

(a) Nos. 142 to 161, Education tables.-Statistics of administered areas in Indian States have been included in these tables.

(b) Nos. 248 and 249, Land Frontier Trade.-Owing to the introduction with effect from the 1st April 1925 of a new system of registering the land frontier trade of India (excluding Burma) under which traffic in selected commodities at certain railway stations adjacent to the more important of the frontier routes only is registered, the land trade tables Nos. 248 and 249 could not be brought up to date. The figures relating to the land frontier trade as at present registered are shown in the new table No. 251. The new system of registration of land frontier traffic came into force in Burma only on the 1st April 1926.
