It is believed that no account of the population of the Archdeaconries and Deaneries of Devon has been published before.

It is stated in the Census, that the number of parishes is 465 in Devon, and 203 in Cornwall, making the total for the Diocese-668. Adding three for Haccombe, Broad Nymet, and Scilly, not counted as parishes in the Census, the number will be, as in the preceding tables, 671. Calculating, however, by the rule adopted in the Census, the number in Cornwall is certainly only 201, (with Scilly 202,) excluding the parishes, (divided between the two Counties,) of Bridgerule, St. Budeaux, and Maker, the churches of which are in Devon ; but including Boyton, the church of which is in Cornwall. It is believed that the number in Devon will be found on examination to be-469.

The Islands of Scilly form one Parish, St. Mary's, which is part of the Deanery and Hundred of Penwith. In the Census, Scilly is erroneously inserted among the Islands in the British seas. It is undoubtedly part of the County of Cornwall. The population, in 1821, was 2,614. It was taken, but not officially, by the Rev. George Woodley, the present Missionary at St. Martins, who published a History of the Islands in 1822.

In Thorn's Survey of the Diocese of Exeter, printed in 1782-87, it is stated that the limits of the See extend, "with very few exceptions," over the Counties. of Devon and Cornwall. Where are those exceptions?

None have been discovered. The Diocese, it is believed, includes nothing more nor less than the two Counties. Thorn's work was, it is said, drawn up by the then Chancellor of the Diocese, the Rev. James Carrington. It professes to be a corrected edition of Ecton's Liber Regis, confined to the Diocese of Exeter.
