THE INDIAN CASTE OF PERU, 1795-1940 — KUBLER 



35 



THE CENSUS OF 1862 

 The only detailed figures of this census that 

 have been published, appeared in 1877. 34 Paz 

 Soldan used the data of 1862 for virtually all 

 demographic matters, excepting the general tables 

 in the article "Peru." These tables were based 

 upon the census of 1876, which became available 

 to Paz Soldan as his work went to press. Because 

 the count of 1862 lacks classification by caste, its 

 figures cannot be used here. 



THE CENSUS OF 1876 



Area Parr6 has published a brief study of the 

 value of this head count (Peru: Censo Nacional, 

 1944, vol. 1, pp. xxxi-xxxiii) . In the prov- 

 inces the census was directed by Army officers. 

 In Lima the work was under the direction of the 

 French statistician, Georges Marchand. The 

 results were published by Manuel Atanasio 

 Fuentes (Peru: Censo General, 1878). Many 

 critics have pointed to the negligence of officials 

 who omitted the count through indolence in 

 settlements of considerable size, and to the 

 defective methods of questioning that were used. 

 On the other hand, the census was the first rigorous 

 effort, to count the population, and it was a 

 document that profoundly affected later govern- 

 mental policy in respect to demographic questions. 



For our purposes the census is valuable because 

 it yields approximate measures of caste in 1876. 

 The published tables by district, province, and 

 Department include a classification according to 

 white, mestizo, Indian, Negro, Asiatic and other 

 races. The territorial adjustments to earlier 

 geographical divisions can in all cases be made 

 without gross errors. Table 8 gives the provincial
