Besides presenting the growth of population since 190 L the volume also reflects the complexion of rural population of the state in Table A-3 'Villages Classified by Population Size'. The rise in urban popUlation since 1901 as reflected in towns of various categories has been brought out both at the state level and in relation to individual towns. Urban Agglomerations comprising either two proximate towns taken together or a town and its outgrowth have been delineated and given separately. In the General Note which precedes the tables, an outline of census work and elucidation of concepts relating to census questions and tables have been included so that readers may have necessary background for making a better and fuller use of the data contained in this volume.
