1. The figures in this Table relate to the whole of the Indian empire except East Manglum and an unadministered tract in North Arakan, both in Burma, with an aggregate area of about 5,000 square miles, and certain tracts beyond the administrative frontier in Assam and Burma, which are inhabited by Abors, Mishmis, Singphos, Was and other wild tribes.

  2. The difference between the total population here shown and that recorded in the pamphlet issued in October 1911, is due to the inclusion of the figures for Kharan in Beluchistan, the enumeration of which was delayed for about six months owing to political reason.

 3. Although situated in Arabia, Aden is administered as a part of the Bombay Presidency. It is therefore included in this Table. Not so the Kuria Muria Islands, Sokotra or the Protected States adjoining Aden on the main land. Nothing is known regarding the population Kuria Muria Islands except that it is very small. The population of Sokotra is roughly estimated at 5,000, and that of the Protected Tribes on the mainland at 607,200. The details are as follows:- Abdali 25,000; Subehi 27,000; Fadthli 35,000;Amiri (Ahl-Radfanshaari, Jabal Jihaf Extra) 50,000; Akrabi 1,000; Aulaki (Sultan and Sheikh) 60,000; Lower Aulaki 20,000; Behan Al Kasab 11,000; Upper Yafai 100,000; Lower Yafai 60,000; Alwai 1,500; Kaiti (All Hadthramaut), Kathiri, etc., 200,000; Wahidi of Bir Alli 3,000; Irka 200; Haura 300; Haushabi 8,200.

4. The Table does not include the population of French and Portugese India. The census of French territory was effected on the 10^th March 1911, at the same time as that of British India, when it was found to have 282,386 inhabitants (males 138,563, females 143,823, of whom 40,177 were British subjects. Potugese India, comprising the districts of Goa, Daman and Diu, was enumerated on 31^st December 1910, when the census of Portugal was taken. The population of Daman and Diu is noted in the margin. The final figures for Goa had not been ascertained when this table was sent to press but according to rough addition worked out immediately after the census, the population was 541,074. On this basis the total population of the Portugese territory would be 602,564.

5. Nor does the Table deal with the external States of Nepal, Afghanistan and Bhutan. The population of Nepal according to a census taken by the Durbar in March 1911 is 5,639,092 (2,854,727 males and 2,784,365 females). There has never been an enumeration of the other two States. The population of Afghanistan has been estimated roughly at 4,600,000 and that of Bhutan at 3,000,000 to 4,000,000.

6. Details of some of the principal States includes in the Agencies and Provincial groups will be found on page 4, where also is shown the population of the areas under British administration in certain Native States.

7. The figures in this Table are based on a detailed enumeration on the Standard Schedule except in the following cases:-  

In the tracts marked with an asterisk a simplified form of schedule was employed. Elsewhere the population was estimated. The manner in which the estimates were made is described in the Introduction to the Report Volume. 

8. The difference between some of the areas here shown and those in the corresponding Table of 1901 is due partly to the inclusion of the area of the Sundarbans and of several newly enumerated tracts, partly to inter-provincial transfers, and partly to corrections made on the basis of recent surveys. There was an error of 5,000 square miles in the area of the border State of Manipur as reported at the last census.             

9. The figures for Madras States in this and subsequent Tables, as a rule, include those for Cochin and Travancore. The census of these States was carried out independently, and their statistics do not appear in the Report for the Madras Presidency.  

10. In Table XIX at the end of the volume, the more important figures are given for the districts in each province and for Native States not shown separately in the general Tables. For further details regarding these units the local census reports should be referred to.

Note:- The district of Anjengo which forms an enclave of the Travancore State has been omitted from this statement as it is administered as part of the Madras Presidency and its statistics are included in the Census Tables of that Province.
