CENSUS OF CEYLON, I

1953 Printed at the Ceylon Government Press, Colombo PREFACE
THE tabulated abstract gives the population of Ceylon as on March 20, 1953, classified by Sex, Age, Religion, Race and Nationality. It is based on the schedules and returns forwarded by Commissioners of Census for each Census enumeration unit and may be regarded as forming the de facto population of the locality described in Column 1 of each table. Table 1 gives the summary of the population classified by Districts and D. R. O's Divisions. Table 2 is a more detailed statement, the smallest unit for which figures are given here being the Census Circle. In the Central, North-Western, North-Central, Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces this normally corresponds to a Korala's Division, and in the other Provinces it is comprised of a group of contiguous Village Headmen's Divisions within a D. R. O's Division. In each case the numbers of the Village Headmen's Divisions are given and the component villages can be readily found by reference to the Alphabetical and Numerical Lists of Villages published-by this Department.
The population enumerated on estates is included in the tables in the population of the respective localities in which such estates are situated. All figures have been revised up-to-date but at the present stage of operations these figures cannot be regarded as final. They should, however, prove useful for all practical purposes as not much variation is expected in them when finalised.
