* A further revision of the Census returns may change these figures. No slaves are returned in the Territories of Minesota, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah; for their population see p. 199.

The Colleges marked thus (*) are under the direction of the Baptists; thus (†), Episcopalians; thus (:), Methodists; thus (§), Catholics. With respect to the Colleges which are unmarked, the prevailing religious influence of those that are in the New England States is Congregationalism; of most of the others, Presbyterianism.

By Instructors, in the above table, is meant those connected with the undergraduates; and by students, except the Roman Catholic institutions and a few of the Colleges in the Southern and Western States, is meant undergraduates, or members of the four collegiate classes; not including such as are pursuing a professional education, or such as are members of a preparatory department. Some of the Colleges above enumerated are not in full operation, and scarcely deserve a place in the table. The column of Libraries includes the number of volumes in the College Libraries and in the Students' Libraries.

Circulars were sent to each College, and from most of them returns have been received of their condition, Jan. 1, 1851. Any one noticing errors or imperfections in the list is requested to send the necessary corrections to the editor.
