Abstract
The object of this memorandum is to describe briefly and in fairly general terms the nature, scope and importance of demographic data, and to furnish some observations on the planning and conduct of colonial censuses.
the memorandum is intended to be no more than the briefest sketch of some of the salient facts regarding the functions of demography and census in relation to the colonies a subject on which there is a large specialized literature. it is intended mainly to set out for the layman some indication of the general interest and value of this wok for general administrative and developmental purposes, and of the processes involved.
efforts are being made in all these fields but, valuable though each is by itself, the value of all three taken together is necessarily vastly greater.
