III the case of the C-serit's of tables, except C-I. the data were'extracted Oil the basis of a sample ~I)unt of approximatply 10% of the censns slips, Instead of a full C01lnt of all the slips, The C-I tahle was prepared from a four pel'cent sample of the households l'ecorded in the National Re~i8ter. of Citizens relating to each town or vill~e. ' In 1941, the population figur(l~ were exhibit<>d accordi.ng to communities in the "Villal{e Handhooks" publish",d by the G,)Vei'fiIUent oE Bombay.

VIII Other services and miscellaneous SOllrceg, ,Dependants, w}1ether earning or non-earning, were classified at the cen'Sus at®rding to the prino.pal means of livelihood of the persons on whom they were dependent. The Primary Census Abstracts, which contain basic information in respect of every village and town, have been arranged according to talukas and petas, units into which every di~trict is divided for administrative purposes. The taluka was, however, too small a unit to adopt for preparing the main cens us til bles. Therefore, in the B, C and D-series of tables figures have beeR given for tracts and not for talukas and petas. Before sorting the census slips and tabulating the results, tracts were formed by combinin14 the rural and urban areas of two or more talllkas or pet as. The tracts into which Satara North district was divided for this purpose~are shown below:- Rural Tracts (1) Rural areas of Satara and K(l,rad taJukas, (2) Rural areas of Palan and ]aoli talukas. (3) Rural areas of Koregaon, Khatav, Man, Phaltan and Wai talukas and Khandala and !--lahabaleshwar petao. Urban Tracts (1) Urban area~ of Satara and Karad talukas,\ (2) Urban areas of Koregaon, Khatav, Man. Phaltan and Wai talukas and Mahahaleshwar peta. Urban areas co~prise the towns shown in table A-V. j~ • Shortly before the 19;)1 population census, a census of Small Industries \vas ~aken, and the results of this census are given in the table called "Small Scale I Industries Census-Employment in Esta~ishments", included In this Handbook. The intention was to find out something about Cottage and Home J ndustries and small workshops. The larger establi~hments, that is, power-using t'stablishments with 10 or more workers and non-power using establishments with ']0 or more workers, were excluded from the scope of the enquiry as they now submit returns under the Factory Act. The enquiry did not concern itself also with workers functioning on dieit own and not employing other people, except wpen looms were used. Otherwise the concept was of an enquiry which embraced all forms of associate activity where articles were produced, repaired or otherwise treated for sale, use or disposal.
