* The figure obtained from the statements furnished by the Accountant-General (Rs. 27,676-7-7) is in excess of
the actual amount under " Provincial " by Rs. 128. This is due to the Accountant-General having included twice
the remuneration paid to the examiners which was paid only once in December 1910.
