| Why was the compilation of Table I necessary? | towns as separate Administr:.t.tive Units were this time required by the Provincial census office to be omitted from the Provincial "rabIes | under notice in the Town of Rajnluesal'.

III and IV, relating to the DistributIon ot Selected Caste'i in the Administrat.ive Units of the State, and the Distribution of population t.herein by Languages commonly spoken in Rajputana and Ajmer-.l\lerwara.
