THE LNDIAN MUSULMANS : A CORRECTION. [To the Editor of

the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In your issue of November 4th, in the article " The Indian Musulmans," by Lord Sydenham, it is stated that " The Musulmans number about 70,000 in all India." To anyone with any knowledge of the facts this is patently an error for seventy millions. It would be as well to correct the error both for the benefit of the few who might accept the figures as they stand, and in order to deprive any Indian agitator of a peg on which he could hang adverse criticism of the article.—I am, Sir, &c., HARTLEY CLARK. Fryars, West Chiltington, Sussex.
