Agricultural Notes on the Census of 1861. 
319 
of farmers and graziers as stated in the Oceupation Tables with 
the number of farm-holdings returned. There is considerable 
uncertainty as to whether the farmers returned all their in-door 
farm-servants ; and while in some cases women and boys were 
included, in others they were not. We must also bear in mind 
that many of the labourers, and also of the farmers who are here 
returned, are disabled or superannuated ; the workman as well 
as the retired tradesman or professional man being, by the rule 
of the Commissioners, referred to his former calling, even though 
he might be an ineffective member. 
The first Tables which we will extract are VII. and VIII. : —
