3-The taking of the Census gave rise to an abundant crop of puerile rumours, which gained wide currency and caused no little alarm especially among the families of lower and middle class Chinese; a dia cussion of overcrowding by the Sanitary Beard shortly before the date of the Census without doubt gravely affected the accuracy of the returns made by househaiders în the congested areas.

(b)-In the Island of Hongkong and the Mainland, large numbers of the Chinese adult male population were absent in their native villages, the date being the middle of the Ching Ming Festival; thus in several middle class residential sections the females were found to equal or exceed the males. The enumerators also reported difficulty in many cases, where all the adult males in a family were absent, in obtaining the necessary information from the females left behind. 5-The Ching Ming Festival also caused great difficulties in holding together a sufficient number of enumerators, many enumerators who had been appointed and carefully trained resigned or left the Colony without sctice just as the schedules were ready for distribution, and others had to be found and receive hasty instructions at the moment.
