Eleven of these are the same that are omitted in Table I., and are omitted for the same reasons, and from one, Cheboygan, no report has been received. The totals of columns 2, 9, 16, 17, 18, and 19, that is, the whole number committed to the jails for all causes, should equal the whole number received in the jails (column 1); but discrepancies appear in fifteen counties, as is shown by the foot notes. In four, Allegan, Barry, Saginaw, and Sanilac, the whole number received is thirty-five more, and in eleven it is thirty-six less, than the number committed for all causes. The totals of the foregoing table, and of the corresponding table published in the abstract for the year ending September 30, 1873, are reproduced below for convenience of comparison. It must not be forgotten in comparing, that in the former abstract, the reports from several counties were for only fractional parts of the year, and that the total number of prisoners reported committed for any cause, may have been considerably less than the number actually committed, but this would not necessarily make the per cent in any case incorrect.

One of the eleven not shown in Table I.,—Gratiot,-is represented in this for the purpose of including the prisoner "received in the State Prison" from that county. Four counties,Charlevoix, Kalkaska, Leelanaw, and Presque Isle,-are not included, because the reports contain no information of the kinds shown in the table. The following Exhibit shows, for the years ending September 30, 1873, and 1874, the per cent of the total number of prisoners convicted and sent to the State Prison, House of Correction, and State Reform School, to the whole number received in all the jails: CONVICTIONS.
