Dependants, whether earning or non-earning, were classified at the Census accord­ ing to the pl'ineipal means of livelihood of the persons on ;Whom they were dependant. The Priplary Census Abstracts, which contain basic information in respect of every village and town, have been. arranged according to talukas ana petas, units into which every district is divided for administrative purposes. The taluka was, however, too small a unit to adopt for preparing the main Census tableF. Therefore, in the B, C and D series of tables, figures have been given for tracts and not for talukas and petas. Before sorting the census slips and tabulating the results, tracts w'ere formed by combining the rural and urban areas of two or more talukas or petas. The tracts into which Kanara District was divided for this purpose are sho,,"n below ;- Rural Tracts. (1) Rural areas of Ankola, Karwar, Haliyal, ~Iunclgod anu Yel1apur talukas and Supa peta. (2) Rural areas of Sirsi, . Siclclapur, Honnavar and Kumta talukas and Bhatkal peta. Urban Tracts. (1) 1..1rban areas of Karwar and Haliyal talukas. C~) Urban areas of Sirsi, HOllllavar and Kumta talukas and Bhatkal peta. The urban areas comprise the towns shown in table A-V. Shortly before the 1931 populfttion census, a censu.s of Small Industries was taken and the results of this census are given in the table called c' Small Scale Industrips Census-Employment in Estahlishments ", included in thi,,> handbook. litO-I Bk Yc l-la A-I.-Area" Houses DISTRIM O\!cupied Houses.
