Summary The planning of any sample survey or census requires the existence of a sampling frame comprising a list of all the sampling units. But unfortunately there is hardly a situation in practice where the frame is available in the form the sampler desires to use. Most commonly some units of the target population are not listed in the frame, and the frame may contain units which do not belong to the target population. In this investigation a suitable method of estimation is proposed when sampling is done from such imperfect frames and a geographical ordering of the units can be established.
