The chief difficulty is of course the inlpossibility of obtaining any adequate or uniform defi..qition of \vhat a "house" is. "The Census House," Mr. Sedgwick remarked, " is a hopeless hybrid between the fanlily and the bllilding..

This is to be expected in a land that is still overwhelmingly agricultural. Of 295 towns in the Bonlbay Presidency ineluning States and Agencies only 11 exceed 50,000 in population and only 5 of these have more than 100,000 inhabitants. By far the commonest size of town is that with a population of fronl 5,000 to 10,000 of which there are 128. Towns of a population of between 10,000 and 20,000 number 62. Only 30 towns have a population between 20,000 and 50,,000.

| What type of migration is typical in the Bombay Suburban district? | that of labour to a city area | In Bijapur, females exceed males both among the Hindu and the Muslim immigrants; and again the reason is connected with marriage arrangements. Bijapur is however the only instance where the female immigrants exceed the male irnmigrants in number. The tendency is usually very much the other way as the typical figures of the Sind districts will show. The Bombay Suburban district figures may be taken as -typical of another kind of migration~ that of labour to a city area, in which case the male population usually greatly exceeds the female.
