They also show the area of eaoh village or tOWll alld fop' each villagtt or townward the number of occupied houses, house-holds and li~era.t3s, m3.les and. fem'l.les sl}parately. These abstracts are in essence a village directory with. th.e data. exhibited according to livelihood classes instea.d of communities as in 1941. Th.e&e abstraclis h!J.ve b )en prepa.re:! in two parts: Part I for towns in which all towns of the district 301'3 shown together, arranged alphabetically, the name of tehsil in which the town is sitaa.ted 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 a.rra.nged by location code numbers in each district. The information regarding the displaced persons has. ,been given as Hea.d Note on each abstract, for the whole tehsil in the rural and for the whole distric.t in urba.n abstra.ots. In oollImn No. 2 the rode number of each village only is given, that of tehsil 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 0018. Nos. 6, 7, 27 and 28 have been obtained from the abstracts of tbe Nationa.l !tegisters of Citizens prepared by the enumerators. These registers consist of a. transcription of the repHe:; to the more important census questions in respect of every person enumera'ted. Figures of literates aocording to the tra.cts, derived from the cemus slips shown in Ta.ble D. VH, are generally more reliable than the village figures obtained from Na.tiona.l Register" of Citizens, The census slip, on which the replies to the census questi'lns were recorded, was the main document, the Nationa'! Regjsters of Citizens was merely a. copy. Moreover errors seem to have been committed by the enumerato.rs while preparing the abstracts of National Register~ of Citizens. Un-populated villages and hamlets have not been given a place in the abstracts, their lists are given at the end. Repeated a.ttempts were made to verify the names of villages through the local officers, and corrections suggested have been embodied so far it was practicablA. At th@ time of this verification certain other discrepanoies also came to notice, namely (I) confusion in the treatment of hamleh was observed in Rome cases, (2) certain villages belonging to one tehsil were entered in another one arid wice versa, (3) the population figures of villages having similar or common names were wrongly entered, (4) in some cases figures of hamlets were found tota.lled with the village figures twice. This resulted in a slight change in tota.l figures. This expla.ins the difference, if any, between the total~ of the Frimary Census Abstracts and those of tables prepared from it before such verification.
