They also show the area of each village or tow.n and for ea.ch village or townward the number of occupierl houses, house-holdil an l literateg~ m lle3 and females sepa.rately. These abstracts are in essence a village directl)ry with the d.}ta. ex:hibited aacording to livelihood classes instea.f of communities as in 1941. These abstracl3 have been prep'l.re1 in two parts: Part I for towns in which all towns of the district are ShOWil t:>6ether, arranged alphabetically, the nl-me of tahsil in whi~h the towa 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 . a.re arranged by loc3.tion code numbers in 61Ch district. The information regarding the displaced persons has been given as He:1.d Note on @ach abstract, for the whole tehsil in the rural and tor the whole district in urban abstracts. In column No.2 the code number of each village only is given, that of tehsil and district has been given in the Head Note. The a.rea. figures given in Col. No. 3 ha.ve been obtained from the (Charge Superintendents) Tehsildars etc. The figures in Cols. Nos. 6, 7, 27 and 28 have been obtained from the abstra.cts of the National t<,egisters of Citizens prepared by the enumerators. These registers consh,t of a tra.nscription of the replies tJ the more important census questions in resp)ct of every person enumerated. Figures of literates aocording to the tracts, derived from the cenms s.lips shown in Table D VH, are generally more reliable than the village figures obtained from National Register~ of Citizens. The census slip, on which the replies to the census q'lesti )ns were rooOTdei, was the main document, the National Registers of Citizens was merely a copy. Moreover errJrs seem to have bean committed by the enumerators while preparing the ab~tra.ct) of National Registers of Citizens. Un-populated villages and ha.mlet~ ha.ve not been glVen a. place in the a.bstracts, their lists are given at the end. Repeated attempts were made to verify the names of villages through the local 80 Was officers, and corrections 8u(J'O'csted0:> have been embodied far it practicable. At ~he time of this verificati611 certain other discrepancies also came to notice namely (1) confusion in the treatment of ha.mlets was obl'erved in some ca.oos, ~2) certain villages belonging to one tehsil were entered in another one and vice versa, (3) the population figures of villages ~aving similar or common names were wrongly entered, (4) in some cases figures of ha.mlets were found totalled with the villag~ figures twice. Thfs resulted. in a slight change in tota.l figures. This explains the difference, if any, between the totals of the Primary Census Abstracts and those of tables prepared from it before such verifica.tion.. ( iii ) DEFINITIONS AND KEY TO SYMBOLS Definitions. Tract:-In past censuses the census figures were tabulated by administrative units i. e. districts, tehsils, etc. This time in almost aU tables the figures have been represented by units which have been technically called "TRAOTS.". Tracts are of three kinds, (l) all villages of a sub-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 given in the handbook of the district. ToW'lt:-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. Gity:-A "Oity" is normally defined as a town with a. population 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 uniformity with the 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, which has separate main entrance from the street lane, by-lane, etc. It includes structures of all kinds such as residential houses, temple~, mosques, offices, etc. The minimum which .wa~ necessary for qualifying a structure to be classed as a house was at least two walls and a roof made of any material. Occupied lwuse:-"Occupied houses" were those which were used actually for the residence of human beings. Houselwld:-A ·'Household" has been defined to mean and include all persons living in one and the same house and dining at a common mess irrespective of their blood relationship e. g. servants re!lliding with tbeir masters and taking meals in their kitchen were treated as members of the master's household.. On the contrary even nearest relatives as husband or wife were treated as separate families if for any reason they happened to live in separate buildings and dine at separate kitchens. Household P6pulation: -"Household Population" means persons living in numbered houses as memberi of a commensal family including guests and servants. It does not include (a) bouseless persons or (b) inmates of institutions like jails, hospitals, bostels, ~ak bungalows, boarding housall, Ol'phanages, sarais, dharmashalas, police lines, military lines, asylums, etc. Displaced person:-A "Displaced person" WttS defined as "a person who migrated from Western Pakistan after 1st March, 1947 or from Eastern Pakistan after 15th October, 1946 due to communal disturbances or fear of disturbances or due to partition of India and Pakistan. Ohildren born to such persons after their migration to India were not to be treated as displaced persons". Ward.-A "Ward" was defined as municipal ward in case of municipal ~Own8. In p-on-municipal towns wards haVd been made arbitrarily by the Census Department. Means of Livelihood.-In former censuses it was customarv to represent the basic population data by co nmunity or religion. This 1;ime an innovtttion has been made and in most of the tab'es the figures are published by means of livelihood groups. All occupations have been claBliified under eight broad classes and given code numbers which are as follows: I-Cult.ivators of land wholly or mainly owned and their d~pendants. (iv) II-Cultivators of land wholJy or mainly unowned and their dependants. III - Cultivating labourers and their dependants. IV~Non-cultivating owners of land; agricultural rent receivers and their dependants. Persons including dependants who derive their principal means ·of livelihood from:- V - Production other than cultivation. VI - Commerce. VIT-Transport. VIII-Other services and miscellaneous sources. N. B.-In most of the Tables, the mIl cla~s number is only given instead of describing the clase. Oode No.-In the enumeration stage a set of location code numbers was prescribed tQ identify each inhabited s· ot whereby the districts were numbered serially within the State, tehsils within a district and cities, towns and villages within a tehsil. Similarly houses were numbered within a village and households within each house. Hamlets were givtlu sub-numbers under the number of the parent village. Key to Symbol1 MIL - Means of livelihood.
