Abstract
IN the volume of the Bombay Gazetteer which deals with the province of Kathiawar, there is at page 217 a long list of prices of the principal food-grains at Bhavnagar. The list contains, along with other information, the price of Indian millet for nearly every year from 1783 to 1882. This series of figures is long enough to afford the means of testing whether there is any tendency, in India, for times of scarcity, and consequent dearness of food, to recur after more or less regular intervals of years.
