and the preliminary figures of three townships had to be worked upon for the " provisional

were ready and despatched to Rangoon and Calcutta.
(g) Operations in non-synchronous tracts— Hlaingbwe.—Commenced on the 1st February
and ended on the 26th February ; some Supervisors and Enumerators had to be engaged
at a cost of Rs. 219-12-0.
The services of one chief head constable and three police sergeants were utilized as
Supervisors and Enumerators.
(h) No prosecutions under the Act were instituted in this district. A few cases of remissness
and neglect of Census duty were, however, brought to my notice, but they were not
of such a nature as called for punishment. * * * The total actual cost of the operations
in this district amounted to Rs. 344-12-6 up to date, and the results appear to me to be
satisfactory and correct.
(k) Vital statistics.—There have been no epidemics of any note in the district during
the past decade.
(/) Emigration and immigration during the past 10 years.—The native population will
be found to have increased in the Thaton subdivision as native coolies have gradually ousted
the Burmans to a large extent.

Maung Chit Tun's charge. He, as Secretary, had a great deal of supervision
beyond this. It was owing to his exertions that the streets were
deserted during the Census and that the enumeration was so quickly concluded.

Owing to preliminary hitches, I found it necessary to appoint a number of headquarter
clerks as Enumerators in Lewe-in and other circles. Among these the following were preeminent,
though all worked well :
Maung Po Yin.
