e record; Alfred (Lord) Milner, _England in Egypt_, first published in 1892, the story being brought up to 1904 in the 11th edition; Sir A. Colvin, _The Making of Modern Egypt_ (1906); J. Ward, _Pyramids and Progress_ (1900); A. S. White, _The Expansion of Egypt_ (1899); and F. W. Fuller, _Egypt and the Hinterland_ (1901). See also the works cited in _History_, last section. (c) Law: H. Lamba, _De l'evolution de la condition juridique des Europeens en Egypte_ (Paris, 1896); J. H. Scott, _The Law affecting Foreigners in Egypt ..._ (Edinburgh, 1907); _The Egyptian Codes_ (London, 1892). (d) Irrigation, agriculture, geology, &c.: _Despatch from Sir Evelyn Baring enclosing Report on the Condition of the Agricultural Population in Egypt_ (1888); _Notes on Egyptian Crops_ (Cairo, 1896); Yacub Artin Bey, _La Propriete fonciere en Egypte_ (Bulak, 1885); _Report on Perennial Irrigation and Flood Protection for Egypt_, 1 vol. and atlas (Cairo, 1894). The reports (_Egypt_, No. 2, 1901, and _Egypt_, No. 2, 1904), by Sir William Garstin on irrigation projects on the Upper Nile are very valuable records--notably the 1904 report. W. Willcocks, _Egyptian Irrigation_ (2nd ed., 1899); H. G. Lyons, _The Physiography of the River Nile and its Basin_ (Cairo, 1906); Leigh Canney, _The Meteorology of Egypt and its Influence on Disease_ (1897). Annual meteorological reports are issued by the Public Works Department, Cairo. The same department issues special irrigation reports. See for geology Carl von Zittel, _Beitrage zur Geologie und Palaontologie der libyschen Wuste_ (Cassel, 1883); _Reports of the Geological Survey of Egypt_ (Cairo, 1900, et seq.). (e) Natural history, anthropology, &c.: F. Pruner, _Agyptens Naturgeschichte und Anthropologie_ (Erlangen, 1848); R. Hartmann, _Naturgeschichtliche Skizze der Nillander_ (Berlin, 1866); Captain G. E. Shelley, _Birds of Egypt_ (London, 1872). (F. R. C.) _Inhabitants._ The population enumerated at the census taken in April 1907 was 11,189,978. In these figures nomad Arabs or Bedouins, estimated to number 97,381, are not included. The total population was thus returned at 11,287,359, or some 16% more than in 1897 when the inhabitants numbered 9,734,405. The figures for 1897 compared with 6,813,919 in 1882, an increase of 43.5% in fifteen years. Thus, during the first twenty-five years of the British occupation of the country
