They also show the area of each village or town. and for f'acn. village or townward the number of occupiei houses, house-ho]d~ an l litera.tes, m \ie~ a.nd fema.le3 8epJ.rately. These abstracts are in essence ~ village direct()l'Y with the d.lt.a. e {:hibited a.ccordtng to livelihood classes instea 1 of cOlnmunities as in 1941. These ab'3tra.ctl3 ha.ve b~en prepJ.re::l in two parts: Part I for towns in which all towns of the district are ShOWLl t-:>;::pth'3r~ arran6ed Ll.{pha.betically~ the n lome of tehsil in which the tOWB. is situated being given within brackets against the nam.e of the town and Part II for villa.ges. in which the villages ha ve been arranged alphabetically for each tehsil and tehsils arc arra.nged by loc~tion code numbers in el,ch district. The information regarding the displaced pergons has been given as HCel-d Note on each abstract, for the whole tehsil in the rural and tor the ...~hole dis trict in urban abstracts In column ~o. 2 the code number of each village only is given, that of tehsil and district has been given in the Head Note. The area figure,;) given in Col. No. 3 have heeu obta.ined from the (Charge Superintendents) Tehsildars etc. The figures in Cols. Nos. 6, 7, 27 and 28 have been obtained from the abstracts of the Nation'O\l H.egistera of Citizens prepared by the enumerators. These registers consist of a "tra.nscription of the replie:; t:J the more important census questions in respJct of every person enumerated. Figure3 of literates according to the tracts, derived from the cen,uS sli ps shown in Table D VI [, are generally more reliable than the vi:lage figures obtained ft'om Na.tional Registeri of Citizens. The census slip, on which the replies to the census q'lesti Ins were recardei, was the main document, the National Registers of Citizens was m~rcly a. copy. Moreover errJrs seem to have be2}ll committed by the enumerators while preparins- the ab1tract'1 of ~ational Register~ of Citizens. Un-populated villa~es a.nd hamlet~ have not been given a. plaoe in the abstra.cts, their lists are given at the end. Repeated a. ttem pts were mauc to verify the names of villages through the local officers. and corrections su(webted...,::> have 11€€n em.boJied so far it 'was practicabl~. At the time of this verificativll certain other discrepancies also came to notice namely (1) confusion in the treatment of hamlets was ob~rved in Rome ca'S6s, (2) certain villages belonging to one tehsil were entered in another one a.nd vice versa, (3) the popUlation figures of villages having similar or common names v.'""ere wrongly entered, (4) in some cases figures of hamlets were found totalled l.vith the vinag~ figures twice. This resulted in a slight change in total figures. This explains the difference# if any, between the totals of the Prima.ry Census Abstract'). and those of ta.bles prepared from it before such verification. ( 1i1 ) DEFINITION'3 AND l~~~Y 11'0 SYi,iBOLS Definitions. Tract: -In past censuses the cen:::ms figures were tabulated by administrative units 1, e. districts$ tensils, etc. This time In almost all tables lJ11e figures have been represented by units whjuh haye been technically called "TRACTS". Tracts arc of three killds~ (1) all villages of a >Yub-division taken together form one rural tract; (2) all town::; (which are not cities) in a district taken together form an "urban non-city tract" and (3) every city is an "urban city tract" or in :::;hort "city tract". A list of tracts conlprised in each district has been gi·, en in the handbook of the district. Town:-A "Town" has been defined as every municipality, every cantonment or every village which had a population of 5,000 or over in 1941. or any other village which was treated as a town for special reasons by the State Census Superintendent. City:-A "City" is normally defined as a town with a populati.on of one lac or over, but this definition has been relaxed in Rajasthan, and towns with a population of 50,000 or over have also been treated as cities, to bring the definition In umformlty with th~ one adopted in the Municipal Act. Village:-A "Village" means a revenue mauza whose revenue IS realised under a separate name. It includes all hamlets attached to it. House:-A "House" has been defined as every structure made of any material which :is actually used as human habitation or if not so used is capable of being so used, wh:ch has separate rnain entranl:e froln the ~treet, lane, by-lane, etc. It includes btruutW'es of all kinds such as residential houses, te'nples, mosques~ offices, etc. The IDlnlffiu,n which was necessary for qualifying a structure to be classed as a house was at least two wLdls and a 1'0 'f made of allY material.
