To the Honourable the Colonial Secretary. SIR, The Board appointed by His Excellency the Grovernor in April, 1890, having now completed the preparation of the Statistical Abstracts showing the result of the Census of this Colony taken on the 5th April, 1891, has the honour to submit the same for His Bxcellency^s information. The Board began its labours by framing a Code of Instructions to Magistrates and Enumerators, and by drafting a form of Householders^ Schedule, the which, after having been subjected to several modifications, received the approval of His Excellency in Council, and were embodied in a Proclamation which was published in the Government Gazette of the 23rd December, 1890, and will be found annexed to this Report (see Appendix A.) In tabulating the information with reference to the population of the Colony, the Board adhered as far as was practicable to the lines on which the Imperial Census for 1881 was taken. The instructions given to the Board were to carry out a census of the«whole of the popula- tion, exclusive only of Natives. The sum of £1,000 was authorised for defraying the necessary expenditure. The enumeration of the Indian population under indenture was compiled by the Protector of Indian Immigrants from the records of his ofEce. The Census of the Corporate Boroughs and Local Townships was carried out under the supervision of the Board, the preliminary arrangements being left in the hands of the Town Councils and Local Boards respectively. The returns of Her Majesty's Troops iu Garrison or Camp were prepared under the direction of the Commandant. The General Manager of the Natal Government Railways supplied the particulars of persons travelling by rail on the night the Census was taken. Persons on board ship on that night were enumerated by the Natal Harbour Board. The enumeration of persons in the Gaols, Hospitals, and Lunatic Asylum was carried out by the Superintendents and Managers of these institutions, in terms of the Census Law. The Census was taken during the early part of April, mid-night on Sunday the 5th of that month being the point of time fixed for ascertaining the population. Acting under the authority of His Excellency, the Board engaged a compiling staff for abstracting the returns. Bight Compilers were so employed, in addition to the Clerk, and their work extended over 42 days. The Board was fortunately able to secure the services of several qualified persons, and having personally superintended this branch of the work, the Board has no hesitation in saying that the laborious duty of abstracting the returns has been carefully and conscientiously performed. It was the original intention of the Board to furnish a separate return of persons of mixed parentage, belonging neither to the European, Native, nor Indian races. At the outset, however, there were found to be considerable difficulties in effecting this with any degree of accuracy. A larger staff of Enumerators would have been necessary, and the cost of the Census would have been greater. But apart from this there were other practical difficulties in the way of a correct return being obtained owing to the unwillmgness, evidenced by the way in which many of the Census Papers were filled in, on the part of a large proportion of the Coloured population to describe themselves in the Schedule as of mixed race. On an examination of the Census Returns it at once became manifestly impracticable to attempt to separate this class of the population with any approach to accuracy. The classification was therefore with much reluctance abandoned, and the races in question included in the population tables embracing all nationalities exclusive of Natives and Indians. From the evidence furnished by the Census Papers, and from extraneous facts within its knowledge, the Board estimates this unclassed population at from 3,000 to 4,000 souls. Generally speaking the Board considers that though there were exceptional cases in which carelessness was evident, the Enumerators performed their work with intelligence and accuracy and that, as far as the information furnished by the tables goes, it is a very fair approximation to the truth, and as near absolute correctness as is usual in such undertakings, involving as they do the co-operation of the public to a very large extent. The following tables have been prepared to accompany this Report, and appended (see Appendix B.) will be found some observations on the figures in each table.

The Board also submits a Map (see Appendix C.) prepared by the Surveyor-General,^ showing the Sub-Divisions of the Magisterial Divisions made for Census purposes, a copy of the Census Law (Appendix D.), and a statement of the cost (Appendix B.) of the whole work. In conclusion the Board would point to the fact that a complete Census is an entirely new undertaking in this Colony, and that on that account the difficulties attending the work have been much increased. The Board too is exclusively composed of public officers whose regular duties in some cases necessitate prolonged absence from headquarters, and in every instance render it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to devote to a duty of this kind the time and close attention which its importance demands. To the fact that this is the first Census taken in the Colnny must be attributed the absence of any of the comparative tables showing the growth of the population, which enhances so largely the interest of Census statistics. The Board desires to make special reference to the valuable services rendered by Mr. Laird, who was placed in charge of the compiling office, and Mr. Emerson, who worked with Mr. Laird throughout, is also deserving of great praise for the diligent and competent work performed by him.

By His Honour's command, C. BIRD, For the Colonial Secretary. CElSrSTJS OF 1891. Instructions to Magistrates and Emomerators issued under Section 4, Law 34, 1880. 1. Upon receiving from the Central Board the Map of his Division, the Magistrate will proceed to mark on it a sub-division for each Enumerator to be employed. Bach sub-division should be such as to admit of every house within its boundaries being visited by the Enumerator during the space of Four days. 2. The Magistrate will, at the same time, ascertain approximately the number of dwellings in each sub-division. 3. A mounted Enumerator may be reckoned upon accomplishing twenty miles a day. 4. Each sub-division should bear a number, and its boundaries must be very clearly defined, and should coincide as far as possible, either with natural boundaries, such as i-ivers or water-sheds, or with roads, railways, or lines of telegraph, or with the exterior boundaries of farms lying on the outskirts of the sub-division. 5. The Map of the Division so sub-divided must be forwarded to the Central Board, together with an approximate estimate of the number of dwellings in each sub-division, not later than the 15th January, 1891. The number of Dutch families speaking the Dutch language, but unacquainted, or imperfectly acquainted with the English language, should a'so be approxi- mately stated. 6. An Enumerator will be appointed for each sub-division, and the Magisti-ate when forwarding the Map should also transmit to the Central Board a list of the persons whom he proposes to nominate for the office of Enumerator within his Division, and who are willing to act. The list should include the names of the Fieldcornets and such members of the Natal Mounted Police as can be spared for the duty. Other Enumerators should be chosen with regard to their acquaintance with the locality, their knowledge, where necessary, of the Dutch language, and their general qualifications for a work requiring accuracy, intelligence, and activity. 7. Fieldcornets and members of the Natal Mounted Police employed as Enumerators will respectively receive their usual travelling allowance and (xpenses for journeys on public duty. Where no special arrangements have been made, other Enumerators will each be paid a fixed sum of Eight Pounds to cover all expenses. 8. The Enumerators having been appointed by the Governor, the Magistrate will carefully explain to each of them the boundaries of his sub-division, and will furnish a sufficient number of the Schedule Forms, together with a copy of the Proclamation issued under Law 34, 1880', con- taining these instructions. He shall also hand to each Enumerator a note-book provided for the purpose of recording the dwellings at which he has left the Schedule forms. The note-book will serve as a guide to the Enumerator when employed in collecting the forms after the Census day. 9. The Enumerator, upon receipt of the Schedule forms from the Magistra,te of his Division, shall proceed to distribute them among the inhabitants of his sub-division, one of the forms being left at each dwelling-house. The distribution shall be began not sooner than the 20tU March,. 1891, and shall be completed not later than 29th March, 1891. 10. The Enumerator should make sure that he perfectly understands the boundaries of his- sub-division J if he has any doubt on this point he should confer with the Magistrate or with the Enumei-ators of the adjoining sub-divisions. He must not omit any portion of his own sab- division ; he must not enter that of any other Enumerator. 11. The Enumerator shall, within the time specified in clause 9, leave at every dwelling- house in his sub-division, one of the Schedule forms, explaining clearly to the head of the family or his representative, the manner in which the form must be filled up, and that it will be called for on Monday, the 6th April, 1891. Every house in the sub-division must be visited within the time allowed for distribution. 12. The Enumerator must enquire if any person was temporarily absent on the Census night, and whether there is reason to suppose that in consequence of such person being travelling by load on that night, or on account of his being on watch or working in a mine or elsewhere, he may not have been recorded. If this should prove to be the case, the Enumerator should make an enty on a separate Schedule form of such particulars as would have been furnished respecting such person, as far as they can be ascertained, had he been at home, with a note stating the cause of absenc", &c. 13. No person alive at midnight, dwelling in the house visited, on the night of Sunday, the 5th April, is to be omitted from the Schedule. No inmate who was then absent must be inserted in the Schedule, except those travelling by road or out at work during that night, and who return home on Monday, the 6th April, 1891. No person dying before, and no child born after midnight of the 5th April is to be enumerated. 14. In the case of a dwelling-house occupied by more than one family, the Enumerator must leave separate forms for each family. 15. Should any persons refuse or neglect to answer the questions put by the Enumerator, he should remind them of the penalty to which they are liable, and point oat the caution at the head of the directions prioted on the back of the Schedule form. He may also warn persons whom he may suspect of giving false information of the penalty they are incurring by so doing. Should they still persist in refusing to supply the information or in supplying it untruly, he must report the matter to the Magistrate, in order that proceedings may be taken in terras of the Law. 16. If a house in which someone resides is found locked up, the Enumerator, except in country areas, must call again and endeavour to meet with the occupier. Should he be unable to do so, he must fill in forms from information obtained from one of the neighbours or some other person acquainted with the inmates. In country districts, he should act as above stated without making a second visit, unless such visit can be paid without loss of time. The Enumerator must, however, take care that no persons are recorded in this manner who did not actually abide in the house on the Census night. 10 1 7. The Enumerator must not omit to enter persons on the Schedule forms because he cannot obtain all the information respecting them. If, for example, he can learn no more than that a person who has since gone away, and whose name is unknown, slept in a house or camped out on the Census night, he must fill a form for such person, writing " not known " in the column where the name should be, always stating the race and sex, and adding such other particulars of age, &o., as can be ascertained or estimated. 18 The Enumprator is required to fill one or more forms with particulars respecting any travellers by road or persons he may find camping out or sleeping under transport wagons, &c., on the Census night. He must also make enquiry and furnish an estimate respecting the number, sex, race, &c., of any such persona as he may ascei-tain were in his sub-division on that night, but whom he did not succeed in meeting with. 19. When the Enumerator has completed his round for the day, he must examine the forms to see that each is properly filled. In case of omissions, he must, with the utmost promptitude, take steps to supply them. Every form must be countersigned by the Enumerator. 20. The Enumerator shall, at the time of leaving a Schedule at any dwelling-house, note in the memorandum book supplied for that purpose the situation of the house and the name of the head of the family occupying it. 21. On the morning of Monday, the 6th April, 1891, the Enumerator shall proceed to collect the forms, and every form must be collected by the evening of the 'dth April, 1891. 22. If the Enumerator, on revisiting any dwelling for the purpose of collecting the forms should find that a form has not been filled up, or has been incorrectly or insufficiently filled up, he must endeavour to complete or correct the form himself, after ascertaining the necessary particulars from the bead of the family or other representative. A supply of spare forms should be taken by the Enumerator to replace forms mislaid, defaced, or destroyed. 23. In filling up the form in which the name of any Enumerator occurs, the ordinary occupation of such officer is to be ente^red, and not the name of his office in connection with the Census. 24. All Schedule forms received by the Enumerator must be duly accounted for, and all surplus forms left blank after the work has been completed are to be returned to the Mao-istrate. 25. The Enumerator, when he has completed the collection, shall despatch to the Mao-is- trato the whole of the forms collected, togather with his memorandum book. The forms must be arranged in the order in which they are noted in the memorandum book. They must not be separately folded, but should be doubled across so as to make a convenient parcel, after beine laid one upon another in their proper order. The forms and note-book must be sent to the Magistrate not later than the evening of the 10/y^ April, 1891. 11 26. Upon receipt of the forms and note books, tho Magistrate will forward theoi, un- opened, without delay, to the Central Board. 27. In ail their dealings with tho public, Euuraerators must be careful to exercise civility and courtesy. 28. The Enumerators are to address all their communications to the Magistrates of their rtsptctive Divisions. 29. Enumerators will distinctly understand that their remuneration is contingent upon their work being properly done, and that a portion may be deducted or the whole withheld should it be found that the work has been performed in a negligent or unsatisfactory manner. 30. The attention of Enumerators is called to the 11th Section of Law 34, 1880, which imposes a peialty not exceeding £15 for wilful default or false statement by any enumerator. 31. Under Section 3, Law 34, 1880, the Superintendent or Keeper of every Gaol, and the Manager or Master of every Lunatic Asylum or Hospital, is to he the enumerator of the inmates thereof. 32. The Commandant of Her Majesty's Troops will furnish statistics of Her Majesty's troops and military employes residing on Ordnance land. The JSTatal Harbour Board will collect information as to p rsons on board ships in the bay or harbour of Port Natal. The G-eneral Manager of Railways will give returns of persons travelling by rail on the Census night. Municipal Corpora- tions, and Townships established under Law 11, 1881, will be enumerated under the immediate supervision of the Town Councils and Local Boards. Returns of Coolie Immigrants brought into the Colony through the Immigration Department will be furnished by the Protector of Immi- grants. The manner of taking the Census by the officers mentioned in this clause will be uniform with that adopted elsewhere in the Colony. The Enumerators will be appointed by the Governor^ and the enumeration will be carried out under the supervision and control of ths Cen- tral Board, to which all returns and schedules must be forwarded. These instructions are hereby extendedj so far as they are applicable, to that portion of the Census taken under this and the preceding sections, and there shall be a uniform Schedule of the pattern appended hereto. 33. It should be clearly undt-rstood that the Census is to embrace all classes of the popula- lation, exclusive only of Natives. Natives of India and other Eastern countries who h'lve come to the Colony otherwise than through the Indian Immigration Department, and as free immigrants (such as "Arabs," Mauritius Indians, &c.), and all persons of colour, excepting Nativej, are to be included in the general enumeration. In the case of Magistracies at which there is an Indian constable he should, if possible, assist in the enumeration of the Indians, to be included in the Census as above specified. Subject to the proviso that Natives exempted from Native Law are not to be enumerated, the definition of the word "Native " in Law 14, 1888, is hereby adopted for the purposes of exclusion from the Census, in terms of this clause. o I89I. heimopmisng Of MONDAY, the 6th of APRIL, 1891, and wiU b^called rator on that day, or as soon thereafber as possible. | ir, or wilfully giving a false answer to any Enumerator, or wilfully furnishing a false return, Ise answer or return, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding five POUNDS, with the costs of Magistrate before whom complaint thereof shall he made. {Law 34, 1880, Sec. 10.) . ) UP THE COLUMIfS OF THE SCHEDULE FORM. the 5th April to be entered here, except those who may be travelling by road or out at work, 6th April.

TABLE 1. This table has been compiled to show, as far as possible, the density of the population per houee in each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. It shows also the area in square m'les, the number of Inhabited Houses, and the average number of Occupants per house. The numbers of the population given do not include Natives or indentured Indians, neither have the soldiers and their families in Garrison at Fietermaritzbui'g and Howick, or the persons on board ships in the harbour at Durban, been included in it. It will be seen that the number of Occupants per house in the Magisterial Division of Klip River is greater than in any of the others, whilst in Inanda Division, in which will be found a greater number of free Indians than in any other Division, we find that the percentage of occupants per house is the lowest. Of the Boroughs and Townships, the percentage of occupants per house is the largest in Durban. It may be observed also that there are approximately three inhabited houses to every four square miles of country throughout the Colony. TABLE 2. This table shows the density of the population, other than Natives and indentured Indians, per square mile in each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. The total area in square miles of each Division is given. At the date of the Census it would appear the general avei-age of the enumerated inhabi- tants throughout the Colony was 3w06 per square mile ; but excluding the Boroughs and Townships, the average in the rural districts is 2.07 per square mile. The Umlazi Division apparently is more thickly populated with Europeans and free Indians than any other Division, the number of inhabitants being 22'304 per square mile. Polela Division is at present the lowest in the scale, there being only one inhabitant to every 4"23 square miles of country, or in other words, the density of the population per square mile in the Umlazi Division is nearly one hundred times that of Polela. TABLE 3. In this table the areas of the Native Locations and Mission Reserves are deducted from the total area of each Magisterial Division, and the number of inhabitants per square mile of these reduced areas is shown. 14 TABLE 4. This is perhaps one of the most useful tables of the whole, as showing the relative ages and sexes of the population, other than Natives and Indians. An examination of tha Schedules shows that there are approximately 13,037 males between the ages of 18 and 55 out of a total male population of 24,795, or roughly speaking, rather more than one-half of the male population of the Colony would be available for military service. These figures include, however, all persons of colour other than Natives and Indians (free and indentured). It will be observed that the total number of males in the Colony exceeds that of the females, a disproportion that we do not find to exist in any European country, but which is not unusual in a colony. In one Division only — the Inanda — is the number of females in excess of the males. We are also able to ascertain from an inspection of this table the number of children of school age in the Colonv. Assuming that the period of school age is from five years to fifteen years, we find that there are 5,581 boys and 5,364 girls, or a total of 10,945 children between these ages. This fact, no doubt, will be a guide to those who are interested in the educational question. The number of children under five years of age in the Colony is 6,540, the boys numbering 3,290, and the girls 3,250. The percentage of children to the population in the country districts would appear to be slightly higher than that of the towns. TABLE S. Table 5 records the ages and sexes of the Indian population not under indenture in each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. Here also we find that the number of males exceeds that of the females. The children of school age number 3,325 boys and 3,090 girls. TABLE 6. This is a return of the number, with ages and sexes, of the Indians under indenture in the- Colony at the time the Census was taken. It was prepared by the Protector of Indian Immigrants from the records in his ofiice. 15 TABLE 7. Table 7 is an abstract of Tables 4 aud 5^ and shows the total population, other than Natives and indentured Indians, in each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. It is curious to notice that the total of the population in the Borough of Durban aud in the Inanda and Umlazi Divisions represents "48 per cent, of the whole population of the Colony. This is due to the large number of free Indian? who are residing in these districts. TABLE 8. This table shows the civil condition as to marriage, with the ages and sexes of the popu- lation, other than Natives and Indians, in each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. The total number of persons who have returned themselves as married is 13,836, 7,050 males and 6,786 females, from which we see that the proportion of married persons to the total population is 29'56 per cent. The number of unmarried adults o£ both sexes, reckoning from 15 years and upwards, is 13,283, males 8,888 and females 4,400. The unmarried adnlts therefore represent 28'38 per cent, of the total population. In the various Magisterial Divisions and Townships the proportion of the married to the total population is as follows : — Ladysmith 34-40, Newcastle Township 31-84, Durban 31-39, Verulam 28-81, and Pietermaritzburg 27-38. Umzimkulu 34-32, Inanda 32-82, Dundee 31-11, Newcastle 31-07, Umgeni 81-04, Weenen 31-03, Klip River 30-60, Lower Tugela 80-11, Umvoti 29-71, Umsinga 29-46, Upper Umkomanzi 28-67, Alexandra 27-90, Umlazi 26-94, Ixopo 26-75, Polela 25-06, Lion's River 23-31, and Alfred 23-16. TABLE 9. This is a similar table to that preceding it but refers to the civil conditions as to marriage of the Indians not under indenture in the Colony. A comparison between the two tables shows that the unmarried females of the age of 15 and upwards in the free Indian population represents only one per cent, of the total, whereas in the European population these represent ten per cent. TABLE 10. The civil condition table of the Indians under indenture in the Colony was prepared by the Protector of Indian Imm'grauts from the records in his office. 16 TABLES 11 & 12. These are merely abstracts of the information contained in Tables 8 and 9. TABLES 13 & 17. Table 13 is an alphabetical list of the occupations of the population, exclusive of Natives and Indians, tabulated for each Magisterial Division, Borough, or Township in the Colony. Table 17 is an abstract compiled from the figures in Table 13, and arranges the different occupations under certain Classes and Orders. In cases where persons have described themselves as having more than one occupation, such as, for instance, " farmer-transport rider," the first-named occupation " farmer " has been recorded. Class I., or the professional class, comprises persons occupied in the various professions, with their subordinates, the Imperial troops, the Natal Mounted Police, Civil Service and Municipal Officers. The females in this Class are mostly school-mistresses, teachers, sisters of Charity, and monthly nurses. Class II. — The persons classified under this head are those who have returned themselves as either " out-door " or " in-door " servants. Class III. — In this Class, in addition to those who have returned themselves as belong- ing to what may be strictly termed the commercial occupations, are included the '"^ persons engaged in the conveyance of men, goods, or messages," such as Railway officials, servants, &c. Class IV. — The number of persons of both sexes who have returned themselves as being engaged in agricultural or pastoral pursuits is 3,325 or 7*106 of the total population. They have been classified under one head styled the "agricultural class" (see Table 17), and include all persons who have returned their' occupations as being either farmer, grazier, planter, farm servants, florists, or persons engaged about animals, such as cattle dealers, &c. Comparing the number so employed in the different Magisterial Divisions, we find that in the Umgeni Division there are 434 so engaged, in "Weenen 405, Umvoti 334, Lion's River 228, Dundee 226, Klip River 207, Newcastle 178, Upper Umkomanzi 175, Ixopo 112, Umzirakulu 83, and Polela 78. In Pietermaritzburg 79 persons returned themselves as engaged in farming, and in Durban 26. Class V. — The classification under Class V., the industrial class, which at first sigbt may appear to be of too wide a signification, and fo embrace persons who should more properly be included under some other class, is adopted from the directions laid down for the compilation of the returns of occupations at the Census taken in England in 1881. 17 This Class may be defined as incladiug all persons engaged ia any trade or handicraffcj an industry, or shop of any kind. The total number of persons returned in the Industi'ial Class is 6,628 — males 6,194, females 434. Of these 1811 are returned under Order 11, as persons working in " houses, furniture and decorations." Their number includes those occupied in the various building trades, such as carpenters, masons, bricklayers, builders, painters, glaziers, plumbers, &c. 858 are returned under Order 21 as "persons working and dealing in mineral substances," such as blacksmiths, railway contractors, and labourers, miners, jewellers, &c. ; 58o are returned under Order ] as working in machines and implements, such as mechanical engineers, engine, machine, and boilei" makers, brick and tile makers, &c. Order 22 also includes 81 artisans or mechanics (undefined), and 304 general labourers (undefined), and Order 9 includes 64 compositors. With few exceptions, therefore, the persons so classified in these Orders may be said to represent the artisan and mechanic population. The sum total amounts to 3,696, and it must be borne in mind that this does not include those of the artisan and mechanic class employed in the Natal Government Railway department. Class VI. — The "indefinite and non-productive class" — a designation adopted from the English tables — includes all females described as performing domestic duties, children attending school, children under four years of age, and all persons who have left blank the occupation column in the Census Schedule Form, or who have returned themselves as " gentlemen " or "proprietors of houses, lands, &c." TABLES 14 & 19 These are tables similar to Nos. 13 and 17, but refer to the occupations of the Indians not under indenture in the Colony. TABLE 15. This was compiled by the Protector of Indian Immigrants from the records of his office, and speaks for itself. TABLES 16 & 18. These are merely abstracts of Tables 13 and 14, referring to the occupations of the population. TABLE 20 Shows the birth-places of the population, other than Natives and Indentured Indians.

This Return is an estimated one arrived at by the enumeration of all the inhabitants in several kraals of the various Tribes in each Magisterial Division of the Colony. A kraal is a small village or collection of huts varying in ntimber from o up to 17. The number of huts in which this enumeration was made in the Colony was 2418, in which it was found that there were 10,002 souls ; this gave an average of 4-1B647 to each hut. The number of huts counted in each Division varied from 10 to 297. A Copy of the instructions on the subject to the Administrators. of Native Law is appended. H. C. SHBPSTONE, S.N.A., Natal. Secretary for Native Affairs Office, Pietermaritzburg, Natal, 5th August, 1891. S.N.A. MINUTE. [ciROULAE.] 6th Jantjaet, 1891. SECRETARY FOR NATIVE AFFAIRS, NATAL, TO ADMINISTRATORS OF NATIVE LAW. In view of the Census of the whole of the population of the British Empire which is to be made this year, and of the practical impossibility of having an actual numbering of the Natives in the Colony taken, I have, by direction of His Excellency, to request that you will be so good as to cause the actual number of souls living in two or three kraals of the various Tribes in your Division to be counted for the purpose of obtaining a fair average of the number living in or belonging to each Hut, so as to be able to arrive at a fair and approximate estimate of the Native Population of the Colony. For this purpose it will be necessary that you should keep a record of the number of Huts in each Kraal in which you have had the number of souls counted. By Command, H. C.
