ADMINISTRATIVE VOLUME . Chapter I.-Enumeration. V-,oPENING REMARKS. Intr-oductory.-A short review of the course of Census Operations is given in the Introduction to the Report, Part 1. This Volume deals, in detail, with the variQUs subjects connected with the Administrative arrangements in Rajputana and· Ajmer-Merwara, and is intended only for the guidance of future Superinten dents of Census Operations, and for the use of the local Administrative authorities. 2: Appointment ot Provincial Census Superintendent.-I took charge, as Provincial Superintendent of Census, on the 21st April, 1920, but the work actually started from May 1st, 1920, on which date the Deputy Superintendent and the , ·Head Clerk were appointed. In 1911, the head-quarters of the Provincial Census office were at Mount Abu. With a view to obviate certain difficulties, such as those of securing competent staff on reasonable pay, etc., etc., they were estab 'Jished', this time, at Ajmer, which occupies a central position in the Provinces and is easily accessible to every State ,in ~ajputana. It may, with advantage, be' given' preference to Mount Abu in future Censuses also. 3.
