S.OMALLEY OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE FELLOW OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE Cambridge: at the University Press 1917 EDITOR'S PREFACE N 1910, when I was asked by the Cambridge University I Press to suggest a suitable sub-division of the Indian Empire into natural geographical units for treatment in separate volumes, J. was embarrassed by the fact that the Province of Bengal, as it had been known for many years before 1905, was then restricted, for administrative con­ venience, to the western three-quarters of the old province, the eastern districts having been lumped with Assam to form the Lieut.-Governorship of Eastern Bengal and Assam. To find an author who could give, in true per­ spective and as the result of personal intimacy an outline sketch of two such dissimilar units as old Bengal and Assam seemed to be impossible; and thus it was decided, in spite of the obvious disadvantages, especially in nomen­ clature, to cut off Assam, which differed so greatly from the rest of the new province of Eastern Bengal, leaving to the ingenuity of the author the problem of designing for the residual area a geographical name that was sufficiently expressive without clashing with the new official nomenclature.
