[58] _Cf._ _Forms of Agricultural Production in Russia_, p. 43 _et passim_, by Mr. Euzhakoff, an admirer of Mr. Henry George. The paper was published in the magazine _Otetchestvenniya Zapiski_, 1882. [59] In the district of Ryazañ, where communal tenure is by far more extended than in the districts under review, we find a few cases of communal tenure among the former State peasants; yet the extent of land so held is so small as to cut no figure at all: _Communal tenure._ _Classes of tenants._ _Dessiatines._ _Per cent._ Former serfs 9924 96 Former State peasants 456 4 ---- -- Total 10380 100 (_Cf._ _Statistical Reports for the Gubernia of Ryazañ_, Vol. I., sec. II., table 3, f.; p. 57.) [60] Rented land is taken into account only in those communities in which the area cut off at the time of the emancipation could be ascertained by the statisticians. It may be further stated that only such land is here taken into account as is yearly cultivated.
