PART I. DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS VOLUME. AREA. The acreages given are as measured by the Ordnance Survey of 1899-1907. They exclude- In Tables 1, 3-5 (a) Foreshore and unnamed islands of less than one rood in extent. In Tables 3-5 (b) The larger rivers, lakes, and tideways. N.B.-While the larger rivers, lakes, and tideways are not enclosed within townland boundaries they form part of administrative areas. The extent of these excluded portions is shown for the county, county borough, county districts, and poor law unions in footnotes to the appropriate tables. POPULATION. The population comprises all persons, including Forces of the Crown, enumerated as at midnight of Sunday the 18th-19th April, 1926, together with those who, not having been enumerated elsewhere, arrived in port or were received into any dwelling on the morning of the 19th April before the Census returns were collected. The population assigned to each area is that actually present (as defined above) within it, whether as permanent residents or temporary visitors, persons in port but on ship board being classified to the adjacent area. In general these definitions apply to the population as enumerated at previous censuses, and shown in Table 2. ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS. The County is divided into seven county districts (three urban and four rural) comprising 86 district electoral divisions, three of which are situate in urban districts (see Table 3). The County Borough is divided into five wards, each of which is coterminous with a district electoral division (see Table 3). Four poor lavv unions are contained within the County and County Borough. The medical dispensary districts situate in the County and County Borough number twenty-one and three respectively (see Table 4). Poor law unions and medical dispensary districts are, respectively, superintendent registrars' and registrars' districts for the registration of marriages, births, and deaths. The County is also divided into nineteen county electoral divisions (see Table 5); and into three regional education areas. The County Borough forms an additional regional education area (see Table 12). · Apart from the reconstitution of county electoral divisions and district elec­ toral divisions in 1923, the changes which have taken place in the boundaries of administrative divisions since 1911 are as follovvs :-. (a) Portion of Londonderry County transferred to Antri1n County consequent on the extension of Portrush Urban District (1st April, 1915). (b) Coleraine Rural District, Coleraine Union, and Portstewart Medical Dispensary District reduced by transfer to Antrim County of the portion referred to at (a) (1st April, 1915). vii. (c) Portstewart Urban District formed out of portion of Coleraine Rural District (1st April, 1916). (d) Londonderry Poor Law Union reduced by the exclusion therefrom of the County Donegal portion (1st April, 1921). PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY. The present parliamentary constituency was created by the Governn1ent of Ireland Act, 1920, and comprises the administrative county and county borough of Londonderry. HOUSES. 1. The term " House " denotes (a) each structure (except institutions) which stands alone or is separated from another by a vertical party wall ; and ·which is used or intended partly or wholly for habitation ; (b) each institution (viz., hospital, sanatorium, nursing horne, infirmary, workhouse, asylum, religious or charitable comn1unity, residential school or college, barracks or other premises under Naval, l\1ilitary, Air Force, or Police discipline, prison or other place of detention), regardless of the number of buildings within its precincts ; .
