(/) Preparation 0/ the district, charge and' circle summaries.—The arrangements
generally were as follows On the morning following the final enumeration the Enumera
tors had to go to a selected " rendezvous," where they met their Supervisors, and checking was
done. The Supervisors and Enumerators then met the Charge Superintendent, when checking
was again gone through and the charge summaries prepared, and special messengers
arranged beforehand, employed to proceed with the figures to the Subdivisional Officer who
arranged that they should reach the hands of the Deputy Commissioner by wire. The result
was, I was able to wire the district totals on the 6th.

{g) The operations in non-synchronous tracts.—Having settled upon the tract and receiving
the approval of the Superintendent of Census, I was able to employ 43 police constables
to assist as Enumerators in addition to others selected Lorn literate villagers.
The Charge Superintendents and Supervisors were all, except four, Government servants.
The difficulties that had to be combated were more difficulties of communication, owing to
the wild nature of the country in parts, and it was necessary to employ police.
The figures obtained may be regarded at any rate as approximately correct.
