They also show the area of each village or town and for each village or townward the number of' occupied houses, house-holds and literates, males and females separately. These abstracts are in essence a village directory with the data exhibited according to livelihood classes instead of communities as in 1941. These abstracts have been prepared in two parts: Part I for towns in which all townq of the district are shown together, arranged alphabetically, the name of tehsil in which the town is situated being given within brackets against the name of the town and Part II for villages, in which the villages have been arranged alphabetically for each tehsil and tehsils are arranged by location code numbers in each district. The information regarding the displaced persons has been given as Head Note on each abstract, for the whole tehsil in the rural and lor the whole district in urban abstracts. In column No.2 the code number of each village only is given, that of whsil and district has been given in the Head Note. The area figures given in Col. No. 3 have been obtained from the (Charge Superintendents), Tehsildars, etc. The figures in Cols. Nos. 6, 7, 27 and 28 hare been obtained from the abstracts of the National Registers of Citizens prepared by the enumerators. These registers consist of a transcription of the replies to the more important census questions in resp;ct of every person enumerated. Figures of literates according to the tracts, derived' from the censm! slips shown in Table D VIr, are gellerally more reliable than the village figures obtained from National Registers of Citizens. The census slip, on which the replies to the census questions were recorded, was the main document, the National Registers of Citizens was merely a copy, Moreover errors seem to have been committed by the enumerators "hile preparing the abstracts of ~ational Registers of Citizens. Un-populated villa::'es and hamlets have not b~en given a place in the abstracts, their lists are given at the end. Repeated ~ttempts were made to verify the names' of villages through the local officers, and corrections sugge:;ted have been embodied so far it was practicable. At th~ time of this verification certain other discrepancies also came to notice namely (1) confusion in the treatment of hamlets was observed in some cases, (2} certain villages belonging to one tehsil Were entered in another one and vice versa; I (3) the popula,tion figures of villages having sill\ilar or common names Were wrongly entered, (4) in some cases figures of hamlets were found totalled with the 'village figures twice. This resulted in a slight change in total figures. This explains the difference, if any, between the totals of the Primary Census Ahstractfi and those of tables prepared from it before such verification. I iii ) DEFINITIONS AND KEY TO SYl,IBOLS I:!efinitions. Tract: -In past censuses the census figures were tabulated by administ.rative units i e. districts, tehsils, etc. This time III almost all tables the iJgures have been represented by units which ha' e been technically called "TRACTS ". Tracts arc of three kinds, (l) all villages of a "ub-division taken together form one rural tract; (2) all towns (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 short "city tract", A list of tracts comprised 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 'linage which 'was treated as a town for special reasons by the State Census Superintendellt. Oity:-A "City" is normally defined as a town with a population of one lac or ()ver, but, this definition has been relaxed in Rajasthan, and towns with a populatiull of 50,000 or over have also been treated as cities, to bring the definition III umformity with the one adopted in the Municipal Act. T1illage:-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 user! is capable of being so used, which has separate main entran('e from the street, . lane, by-lane, etc. It includes ~trur.:tuJ'es of all kinds such as residential houses, te nples, mosques, offices, etc. The minimu 11 which was necessary for qnalifying a s-tructure to' be classed as a house was at least two walls and a ro 'f made of any material. Occupied llOusc:-"O eupied JI()Uses" were thoso which -vvere used actui111y for the ri's:denre of h ,mall bein~s.
