The major reason for the small attention hitherto given to the study of internal migration in Indonesia has been the in adequacy of the relevant statistics. This is a pervasive prob lem for Indonesian demography; even the estimates of vital rates are open to considerable doubt. However, two new sources of in formation are now becoming available: the 1961 census and the 1964/65 National Sample Survey. When taken in conjunction with a number of other specialized studies, these provide a body of data which give an overall picture of migratory patterns and make possible some checking for consistency.
