COLONEL SYKESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether he has had transmitted to him officially the Report of the Municipal Commissioners of Bombay for 1867; when the Statistics of India with Maps will be laid upon the Table; and, whether any arrangement has been made for the more rapid issue of the Sheets of India Atlas; and when the next sheets will be issued?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, in reply, said, he had not officially received a copy of the Report of the Municipal Commissioners of Bombay for 1867. The India statistics were nearly ready, with the exception of certain Returns, respecting which further communications with India were required; and arrangements had been made for the issue of sheets of the India Atlas by the Surveyor General of India. He believed some further issues would shortly be made.
