WEST BENGAL NOTE THIS compilation is part of an all-India study undertaken at the instance of the Government of Ind.ia, aimed at ascertaining the extent of mixture of mother-tongues in a few selected border. thanas .. For West Bengal, fifteen bordering thanas were selected and all their census slips were re-sorted to find out how much ingress mother­ tongues of adjoining States had made into each yillage of the thanas so selected. Thus, for Midnapur district our ,sort was mainly for Bengali, Oriya and Santali, while for Darjeeling it was Bengali, Hindi and Oraon. The Government of India are in possession of the results of this .compilation. The tables are now being released for general infor­ mation. Each table also contains an analysis of the numerical strength of each mother-tongue taking the total· population as hundred. Tinted maps were prepared for each thana so analysed, ,but as the cost of printing them was prohibitive it was decided to publish this volume without them. Calcutta A.
