Report on the Census operations in the Toungoo district in igoi.
*****
Toungoo Subdivision.
(a) The preparation of the general register of villages or towns and of the circle list
was conducted under the immediate supervision of the Deputy Commissioner. * * *

the 23rd of November.
*****
(d ) The preliminary enumeration.—The total number of Supervisors and Enumerators
employed in the subdivision were 1,580 Enumerators and 426 Supervisors.
Supervisors were chiefly village headmen and clerks ;
Enumerators were taken chiefly
from amongst the ten-house gaungs. * * *
The preliminary enumeration commenced about the 15th January igox.
(e) The final enumeration.—Myo6k Maung Kan Tha, Myoma township, did the best
work in this subdivision in my opinion. He took great interest and pains in his Census
duties. Myo6k Maung San We of Oktwin, however, had the heaviest work. The final
enumeration was on the whole very creditably done throughout the subdivision.
