(a) The composition of the bodies through which election to these seats will be conducted, though In most cases neither predominantly European or predominantly Indian, will not be statutorily fixed. It is, accordingly, not possible In each Province to state with certainty bow many Europeans and Indians respectively will be returned. It is, however, expected that, initially, the numbers will be approximately as follows:—Madras, 4 Europeans, 2 Indians; Bombay (including Sind), 6 Europeans, 3 Indians; Bengal, 14 Europeans, 5 Indians; United Provinces, 2 Europeans, I Indian; Punjab, 1 Indian; Bihar and Orissa, 2 Europeans, 2 Indians; Central Provinces including Berar. 1 European, I Indian; Assam, 8 Europeans, 8 Indians; Bombay without Sind, 4 Europeans, 8 Indians; Sind, 1 European, 1 Indian.

(B) Seven of these seats will be reserved for Mahrattas.

© as explained in paragraph 0 of the statement, the number of special Depressed Class seats in Bengal-which will not exceed 10-has not yet been fixed. the number of General seats will be 80, less the number of special Depressed Class seats.

(d) One of these seats Is a Tumandar's seat. the tour Land-holder's seats will be filled from special constituencies with Joint electorates. It is probable, from the distribution of the electorate, that the members returned will be one Hindu, one Sikh, and two Muhammadans.

(e) This woman's seat will be filled from a non-communal constituency at Shillong.
