62 POPULATION TABLES.
respectively included, and the totals of these last, collected into one tabular
view, constitute the present abstract. The labour of this detailed survey
was considerable, for as each individual cultivator was to receive a lease corresponding
with the register taken, it was necessary that the land he rented
should be carefully measured and assessed.*
■ * The Javan mode of taking account of population is by the number of ch$cha, or
“ families,” as it is usually rendered, though the word gtrictly means “ . ^numeration
When the sovereign assigns lands, it is not usual for him to express the extent of land, 4>ut
the number of chdcha attached to it. But as the population of the land so granted varies,
the original expression becomes inaccurate. In the native provinces, the number of CMchas
reckoned is almost invariably less than the number actually existing, a clear proof, if the
original census was correct, that in those provinces population has increased. An account of
the number of ch&chas .was taken some few years-back by the Sultan of Yfigya-k&ta, with a
view to a new distribution of the lands; but the measure was very unpopular, and no accurate
results were obtained. The Dutch relied entirely upon this loose system of enumeration.
