A CORRECTION.

(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—A misprint in my letter which you kindly published last Saturday has considerably weakened the argument; for "thirty- eight " 'read " fifty-eight." The actual figures are : Madras, Punjab, and Burma—population, 73 millions; contribution from provincial revenues for central purposes. 788 lacs of rupees. Bengal and Bihar—population, 80 millions; contribution, 108 lacs.
