Proceeding south of Delhi along the Jamuna, we find the Jats more numerous in Mathura than in any other district of that province except Mirat. Further south, in the Agra district, they form 7 per cent of the population, but till 14 per cent of the cultivated area and in two of the sub-divisions (Agra and Kiraoli tahsils) they are the most extensive cultivators.
