FORM OF CENSUS RETURN.-GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. 
The census should be taken every year at the time when the Indians are most collected together. 
The easiest method of obtaining it, and liable to least chance of confounding different tribes, is 
to employ the chief or head man to count by tallies of sticks. Special pains should be taken to 
ascertain correctly the number of bands into which each tribe is divided, and the names of the 
petty as well as the principal chief. Any other statistical details may be stated under the head 
of general remarks. 
The report must be forwarded to the superintendent, with the estimates of the agency for the 
service of the ensuing year.
