The lands which he superintends and apportions range from six or seven to double that number of _jungs_, or from forty or fifty to an hundred acres English, and these are divided among the inhabitants of his village, generally varying from about two acres to half an acre each. That this minute division of land takes place, may be shewn from the surveys made under the British government in the eastern provinces, which nearly resemble those under the dominion of the native princes, and consequently may be taken as indicating the general state of the island. The inhabitants in the agricultural districts of the residency of _Surabáya_ amount in all to 129,938: these compose 33,141 families, of which 32,618 belong to the class of cultivators, and 523 belonging to other professions pay only a ground rent for their houses. The area of the province contains about twelve hundred square miles, or 34,955 _jungs_, about 20,000 only of which are cultivated, so as to become of any consequence in the division of lands among the villages, the number of which amount to 2,770. By a calculation founded on these data, it would appear, that each village averages about twelve families, that a family falls considerably short of the average of four, and that a little more than seven _jungs_ are allotted to a village. In _Kedú_ the population amounts to 197,310, the number of villages to 3879, and the quantity of cultivated land to 19,052 _jungs_; so that in this province there are about five _jungs_ attached to a village; and a village is inhabited by fifty-one souls, or about twelve or thirteen families. In _Grésik_, the number of villages amount to 1396, the quantity of cultivated land to 17,018 _jungs_, and the population to 115,442 souls. In _Probalíng'o_ and _Besúki_, the numbers are--of inhabitants, 104,359; of villages, 827; of cultivated land, 13,432 _jungs_. In these two last the proportions vary, the number of _jungs_ to a village in the former being more than twelve, and of inhabitants more than eighty, or about twenty families; and in the latter, the proportion is more than one hundred and twenty souls to a village possessed of more than sixteen _jungs_ of land. It would be superfluous to state any more examples. In different parts of the island, there are variations within certain limits; but the quantity of land occupied by one cultivator seldom exceeds a _báhu_, (or the quarter of a _jung_), although the quantity occupied by a village, as will be seen by the above instances, varies from five to sixteen, according to the extent of the population.
