The present area is 488 square miles or 312,320 acres; but the survey was in 1867-68, and there are now probably 350,000 acres under the plough. The above area does not agree exactly with others given elsewhere, nor with the annual report* which gives the area of cultivation at 533 square miles. The difficulty probably arises in connexion with the 23 villages of the Lucknow district, which in 1869 were included in pargana Dewa and transferred to Bara Banki, It is not worth while now adjusting exactly the proportion of cultivation which existed eight years ago, because it has now largely increased.
