This brief review of the second1 and third2 census bulletinsfrom the 1961 census of Pakistan is second in a series3 of reviewarticles by the Demographic Section of the Institute of DevelopmentEconomics on the census publications. This review is really a supplementto the first in so far as the second and third bulletins are, by andlarge, final confirmations of the first bulletin, though the thirdbulletin also provides a long series of detailed figures for smallareas. The second census bulletin gives the final results of some of theinformation collected during the 1961 census, the provisional summariesof which were published in the first bulletin. It, however, does notreproduce the literacy, houses and household data and some of the urbaninformation from the first bulletin. Instead, it provides someadditional information on population by rural-urban and religiousclassifications. Besides, the second release contains statistical noteson (a) growth of population, (b) rural and urban growth of population,and (c) religion. These differences between the two successive censusbulletins are important and the additional information returned willform the subject matter of discussion in this article.
