*The City of London comprises an area of 675 acres, which is mainly covered by buildings used for business and not for residential purposes. The census included those persons only who passed the night of the census within the city boundaries and did not take account of the citizens engaged in the city in the daytime. It has been customary for the County Purposes Committee of the Corporation to supplement the ordinary census by the taking of a special day census. This special census took place on this occasion on 25th April, 1911, and the returns showed that 364,061 persons were engaged in the day time within the "walls and liberties" of the city.
