Jakshitch, chief of the sta-tistical bureau of Belgrade, Servia, the inhabi-tants of Turkey proper in Europe were dividedin regard to nationality into 3,732,300 Slavi(1,871,800 Servians, 1,860,500 Bulgarians),1,024,200 Greeks, 1,289,200 Albanians, 199,600Roumanians, and 2,210,800 Turks, Compar-ing the number of Turks with the number ofMohammedans as given above, it appears thatthe Turkish race constitutes less than two-thirds of the Mohammedan population of Eu-ropean Turkey. The remainder is made up ofMohammedans, Bosnians, Bulgaria
