[100] The Poles constitute the majority of the population in many
cities of eastern or Russian Galicia. In Niederle’s list Bobrka,
Muszyna, Sanok, Lisko, Sambor, Peremysl, Rawaruska, Belz, Zolkiew,
Grodek, Ceshanow, Stryj, Kalusz, Stanislawoff, Kolomya, Tarnopol,
Husiatyn, Buczacz, Sokal and Trembowla are credited with over 50
per cent Poles in their population. The predominance of German in
the cities of Biala, Sczerzec, Dolina, Bolechow, Nadworna, Kossow,
Kuty, Zablotow and Brody is attributed by the same authority to the
Jewish element present.

[113] The Jews cluster especially in the eastern governments of
Warsaw, Lomsha and Siedlez, where their percentage varies between
15.6 and 16.4. This ratio is lower in the southern and western
administrative divisions. In Kalish it reaches only 7.2 per cent
and is reduced to 6.3 per cent in Petrokow. In the cities the Jews
constitute on an average slightly over a third of the population,
although here again they are more numerous in the east. Cf. D.
