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. Turkey in Asia .. 17 000 1*00 23000 1 to 600 Arabia 10,000 000 25000 1 400 Russia in Asia 10 OUO 000 12 500 1 800 Tartar? 4000000 6 600 1 600 Afghanistan 6000000 8300 1 600 Persia In. MI MI.

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.
