' Ancient County. — ^The county as defined by the Act, 7 & 8 Vict. chap. 61, which affected Hertfordshire to the 

 following extent, viz. the Hamlet of Coleshill (Amersham Ancient Parish) was transferred to Buckinghamshire. There 

 were also one or two other small changes under the Act ; the parts so transferred had, however, previously been treated 

 as belonging to the County to which they were now legally added. 



The population in i8ri is exclusive of 2,797 Militia, who could not be distributed to the places to which they 

 belonged, and in r82i is exclusive of 509 Militia. (See also note to Royston.) 



^ Bishop's Stortford Parish. — ^The increase of population in 1871 is chiefly attributed to the temporary presence of a 

 large number of workmen engaged on sewerage works. 



' Stanstead .Abbots Parish. — The increase of population in 1841 was almost entirely due to the fair being in progress at 

 the time of the Census.
