Excerpt from Census of India, 1901, Vol. 11: Bombay (Town and Island); Part V, Report
ON the night of March 1st, 1901, the decennial census of Bombay City and Island was carried to cornpletion. Inasmuch as an entirely new system of enumeration was adopted, and in view of the fact that certain circumstances, for which our previous census history afforded no precedent, combined to render unique the operations of 1901, it has been deemed advisable to prefixto this statistical portion of the City Report a few remarks, dealing with the more notable features of the organisation and enumeration. The full and detailed report upon the measures devised for the taking of the census, and upon the financial aspect of the work, will be found included in the administrative volume for the Prasit deacy of Bombay.
