APPENDICES.
received in this office on the 17th AprU 1900. The registers from the four townships
were received in my office at the end of June, but they were returned for amendment about
the middle of July and were received back at the end of September.
* * * * *
An abstract was prepared from this register and was despatched to the Superintendent
*****
of Census on the 5th October 1900.
The circle lists were then commenced. They were completed by the end of October
and were, with the maps, in the hands of the Supervisors about the 20th November.
House-numbering.—This was commenced on the 1st November 1900, *
and was not finally completed before the 15th January.
Agency employed.—The district was divided into six charges (exclusive of towns).
Pantanaw and Thigwin townships formed one charge each. Myaungmya and Wakema
townships, owing to their size, were each divided into two charges.
Four of the Charge Superintendents were Inspectors of Land Records. The Myooks
of Wakema and
***** *****
Myaungmya had each one charge in their respective townships.
There were 154 circles. The Supervisors were mostly Revenue Surveyors and thugyi-
SCZjrGZi
There were 2,169 blocks. The Enumerators were mostly village headmen, ten-house
gaungs, and the most intelligent villagers that could be obtained.
*****
Preliminary enumeration.—The following forms were received about the middle of
December : 27,000 general schedules in Burmese, 2,200 covers, 4,350 block lists.
After the
*****
first abstract was forwarded it was found that some hamlets had been omitted
from the register of villages and so a revised abstract was forwarded on the 27th November.
The following
*****
:— forms were wired for on the 3rd January 1901 1 1,000 general schedules
1,000 covers, 600 block lists.
These were received in two instalments on the 24th January and 5th February.
Though the number of forms at first received was undoubtedly insufficient, still I doubt
whether the number asked for by the Township Officers was necessary.
*****
The preliminary enumeration commenced on the 2oth January and was for the most part
completed by the 15th February.
The final Census was taken on the night of the 1st March. There Were no special difficulties,
but in some cases it was not completed by midnight.
The preparation of the district charge and circle summaries.—The circle summaries
',
were for the most part received by the Charge Superintendents on the 3rd March, but in
a few cases on the 4th March. The charge summaries were received in the district office on
the 5th and 6th March.
Orders had been given for summaries to be made for some circles difficult of access from
the preliminary enumeration figures, so that the district provisional totals might not be delayed
owing to the
*****
non-receipt of the final enumeration figures from these circles. These figures
were received in the district office a few days before the final enumeration took place, but they
were not used, as the summaries from the circles in question prepared from the final figures
were received in time. 1
The district summary was completed at 2 p.m. on the 7th March and the provisional
totals were wired to Calcutta and Rangoon at 2-30 P.M. on the same day.
Including the towns of Myaungmya and Pantanaw, there were eight Charge Superintendents,
161 Supervisors, and 2,617 Enumerators employed.
