NOTE The census ehubleration was carried out in full according to plan but the Government of India decided to restrict the tabulation for British India. Consequently the tables in this volume cover less than half the contemplated range and offer in effect only the distribution of the population by community and by province or state, district, tehsil and town. I Opportunity has been taken however to sort wherever possible the 1/50 random sample taken in every area. 2. The slips in which the remaining unsorted information is to be found are stored in each province against a possible reopening of tabulation in happier circumstances.

This ta,ble shows for each district its area, the number of towns and villages, the number or occupied houses and the total urban and rural population, male and female in the province. Similar figures are given 'for 9 states of the Chhattisgarh States Agency and one state of the Bhopal Agency.. The remaining 6 states of the Chhattisgarh States Agency which were hitherto included in the C. P. and Berar Census Reports were allotted this time to Bihar for the purpose of enumeration and tabulation and their statistics win appear in the Bihar tables. The difference between some of the areas shown here and those in the corresponding table of 1931 is due to transfers to Orissa and adju~tments within the province as well as recalculation of areas as explained in the flyleaf of table IL 2. The area given in this table and Provinciai Table I in some cases differ because the figures given in this table were adopted from the district figures given by the -Survey of India while in Provincial Table I, the tehsil figures furnished by the Deputy Commissioners were adopted according to the instructions from the Census Commissioner for India. 3. The urban population is 2,189,805. Excluding towns which have less than 5,000 population the urban, population is 2,152,406 and the urban/rural ratio 10: 75. 2 I-AREA, HOUSES AND Occupied houses District or State Area in Towns Villages sq miles Total In Towns In Villages 1 2 3 4 Ii 6 7 CENTRAL PROVINCES and BERAR (including states) 118,710 130 44,992 3,813,861 517,027 3,296,834 Central Provinces and Berar 98,575 119 38,985 3,474,861 495,410 2,979,451 Central Pr01Jinces 80,766 76 33,280 2,710,640 373,219 2,337,421 J'ubbulpore Division ..I 25,130 27 11,027 789,242 96,625 692,611 J Saugor · . 6,761 7 3,273 207,911 25,770 182,141 •' Jubbulpore · . 3,919 4 2,247 194,245 26,331 167,914 jMandla .. 5,115 1 2,007 99,085 3,212 95,873 I H?shangabad 5,707 13 2,397 181,512 23,909 157,603 ..
