NOTE
The oonsus enumeration was carried out in full according to plan but the Government of India decided to restrict the tabulation for British India. Consequently the tables in this volume cover less than half the oontemplated range and offer in effect only the distribution of the population by community by province or state, district, tehsil and town.
2. The slips in which the remaining unsorted information is to be found are stored in each provinoe against a possible Ieopening of tabulation in .happier circumstances.

I--AREA, HOUSES AND POPULATION
1. This table shows the area, the number of towns and villages and of occupied houses, and the urban and rural population for the districts and states in Assam.
2. The areas in column 2 are the latest determinations of the Survey of India. In the Sadiya Frontier tract and Balipara Frontier tract however the areas locally determined have been adopted, as the Survey of India figures relate to the whole of the- tract but not to the administered and censused area. The total mapped area of these tracts is 20,034 and 12,043 sq miles respectively. Changes from the 1931 area are due to boundary revisions, resurvey or revised calculations.
The areas given in Provincial Table I differ from those given here. The gurvey of India do not take out figures for units smaller than the districts. In Provincial Table I, therefore, areas locally available were adopted.
3 .• ' House" is defined as the buildings, one or many, inhabited by one family.
4. "Towns" are places of usually not less than 5,000 inhabitants possessing" definite urban characteristics. Some places with less than 5,000 inhabitants have also been treated as towns. The urban: rural ratio calGulated on the popUlation living in towns of 5,000 and over is 1 : 28, that is, for every person living in town there are 28 persons living in villages.

XllI-COMMUNITY
The community figures in the Imperial alid Subsidiary tables may appear at first sight perplexing. Rence this' explana<;ory note.
The essential point is that the table shows the community origin not the religious attribution. Had time and finances permitted other details would have been given to link up fully with 1931 but in this truncated census this was not possible. Community and religion may seem to many as one and the same and inseparable and are in fact so in most Ca3e'l. But where there are tribes community and religion need not always be the same and in the present census they have all been classified on the basis of community and not of religion. Thus a Khasi returning himself as a Hindu, Christian, Muslim or Animist at the last census would have been classified under any of those headings of religion according to the faith he professed or attributed to him, but this time he has been classified as a Khasi. This is the main reason for the great apparent fall in the proportion, in the whole population, of Christians and to a less extent of Hindus and Buddhists. At the same time there is more than a corresponding increase in the proportion of the tribal people.
All the communities ment'oned in the Gc.vernment of Inc:i:L Act as tribes in Assam have been treated as such and in addition some tribes, Dot indigenous to Assam, but treated as tribal communities in their own provinces. The chief tribes under the latter category are Mundas, Oraons, Gonds, Konds and Santhals. There are some other minor tribes as well but to classify them would have been difficult and perplexing to the enumerator. These five tribes, foreign to Assam, have been grouped together as tea garden tribes as their presence in Assam is largely due to that industry. The only other community from outside Assam which has been treated as a tribe is He Chakmas ; their number is small and they are found only in the Lushai Hills where they have migrated from their origi1l81 home, the Chittagong Hill tract in Bengal. The members of all these tribal communities, indigenous or foreign to Assam, have been shown together under " Tribes" in the Imperial, Provincial and Subsidiary tables.
Subsidiary tables XIII (i) and (ii) clearly show the result of the change from a religion to a community basis of classification. In numbers as well as in proportion in the general population the Hindu figure shows a decrease both in the Brahmaputra and Surma Valleys. In the Brahmaputra Valley tribal people like Kacharis, Miris, Raves, Lalungs were in the past mostly classified on the religion basis as Hindus; in addition there are large numbers of tea garden tribes there who were similarly classified. With their grouping together now by origin the figure for Hindus show an apparent decline. In the Surma Valley indigenous tribal people are few in number but there are many belonging to the tea garden tribes; this has affected the Hindu figure there, but to a much less extent than in the Assam Valley. In the Hills, even in the past censuses there were few tribal people returned as Hindus except in North Cachar Hills and that is why the Hindu proportion has not been affected to a very appreciable extent in the Hill areas. The Christian figure shows much larger decrease than the Hindu figures; this is because the aggregate number of the former is very much smaller than the latter and it is among the tribal communities particularly that Christianity has been able to count many of its followers in Assam. The large decrease in the Brahmaputra Valley is due to the classification of many Christians among the Kacharis, Garos etc. The decrease is greatest in the Hills as apart from Animism Christianity was the main religion these Hill tribes returned at the previous censuses; the decrease should in fact have been more had it not been for a wrong classifi.ca~ tion of over 25,000 people, most probably tribal, as Indian Christians in Manipur .. Figures for Christians in Surma Valley do not show any decrease as there are few tribal people there except in tea gardens and fewer still of Christians among them. The decrease in the number of Buddhists is also due to the same reason. Khamptis and Singphos who were classified as Buddhists before have been now shown against their tribe. The figure for Buddhists has come down from 974 to IS in Lushai Hills; the Chakmas are mostly Buddhists and their classification now as a tribe is responsible for the apparent decrease in the number of Buddhists in Lushai Hills. The decrease in Darrang and Kamrup is due to the fewer Bhutias who have come down this time than in 1931.
If the figures be ef(amined in the light of what is stated above tlley wll1 be found' to disclose no " alarming" tendencies. All the communities have shown natural increases in varying degree and in no district have the pre-existing communal proportions been disturbed to any appreciable extent except by migration.

There is no question of removal of Hindus or of Ohristians. A separate note on Ohristians follows and Hindus are present in the same proportions as before; in the absence of caste or reEgion sorting the 1931 practice would have meant that no record of the number of persons of tribal origin, which is so important a matter in Assem and represents one of the reasons for the extensive reserved areas in that. province, would have been forthcoming.

The above estimate has been prepared on the basis of the 1931 figures, natural increase in areas where the Christians are chiefly found and the extent of missionary activity as far as is known or can be gathered from previous reports. The figure thus arrived at shows an increase of 55% over 1931. Of this 16% will be due to natural increase and the balance to fresh conversions during the decade.
Christians are most numerous among the tribal people of the Hills where there is nothing to suppose that th.e spread of Christianity has not. kept the same pace as in the previous decade. It is ,however reported from Lushai Hills that there has been a tendency in the opposite direction also, Christians reverting to their old beliefs and sacrifices, this has been indicated in the house-lists, but has not been examined to ascertain its extent. In Manipur the Christians recorded are actually tribal (Kukis and Nagas) have been shown as non-tribal Christians. In Naga Hills Christianity has spread most among the Aos and Semas.
Outside the Hills Christianity has spread largely among tribal people and ex-garden labour s.ettlers. There is little missionary activity in the tea gardens themselves, the Christians enumerated there having come as such from their home districts. In the case of ex-garden labourers it is difficult to ascertain whether they were originally tribal people or not, for they assume the name" A. B. Christian". For this reason tribal Christians are very few in the Surma valley where the Christians are mainly among garden and ex-garden labour. In Nowgong and Sibsagar districts also Cllristians among ex-garden labourers seem to have returned themselves as such whether they were tribal or not. In these two districts tribal Christians now shown are mostly Mikirs. Most of the tribal Christians in Goalpara, Darrang and Lakhimpur are among tea-garden tribes: and to a less extent among Kacharis.
