Mr. Levy, after much thought and inquiry, thinks the following numbers for Asia not too great, and he is probably correct : COUNTRIES. Population. No. of blind. Proportion.

It is computed that Africa, with a popu- lation of 75,000,000, has about 1 blind to every 300 of the whole number, or a total number of 250,000 blind. The number of blind in other countries is estimated as follows : COUNTRIES. Population. No. of blind. Proportion.
