Sources of variance and ambiguities, decisions made to prepare cod- ing categories for tabulation and statistical data, and methods used to reference local names for life forms to Latin binomial names are detailed. The words origi- nating in respondents' languages actually reported, the raw frequencies of re- ports for these terms, and their probable biological references are presented. Some alternative methods are recommended which may permit collection and process- ing of precise information by overcoming cultural and linguistic differences be- tween local respondents and Western sciences.

Two explanations have been advanced at the Census Bureau to explain the high undercount of Black men (Pritzker and Rothwell, 1967): deliberate concealment, and mobile and transient residency patterns. Although these hypotheses are plausible, evidence is sparse and indirect. It is difficult to gain direct evidence about people who deliberately avoid surveys or whose lifestyle leads them to be missed from household-based surveys. However, intensive small-area studies conducted by researchers who live in or are accepted in a neighborhood may tell us a great deal about who is missed in the census, and why, for that small area. In the late 1960s, the Census Bureau sponsored a pioneering study by two ethnographers in a low income, Black and Hispanic city block in Brooklyn (Valentine and Valentine, 1971). This study provided the first direc...

Finding cases and patterns of omission and error in the census enumerations is a step which must be taken first in order to find out what demographic, social and behavioral characteristics of neighborhoods, households and people are associated with particular cases of omissions and errors or account for the observed higher or lower rates of error in the enumeration of a locality. Thus, the evidence and methodological bases for identifying errors and omissions in the census discussed in this paper underlie other studies. We will describe the ethnographic evaluation method in brief, characterize its sample, discuss coding the "final match and resolution" for all records, and illustrate differences in population counts for small areas. We...

The net undercount rate for Blacks is greater than for non-Blacks. The net undercount is high for certain sex/race/age groups such as Black males of ages 25-54 (Ahmed 1991; Robinson et. al 1991:18). Black males are the race/sex group with the highest net undercounts in the 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980 decennial censuses. Adult Black men experienced higher net under-counts than Black females, or non-Black males or females in the past 5 censuses (Robinson 1988). The 1990 PES estimated that males of Hispanic origin (of any race) had a slightly higher net undercount than Black men, and American Indians men experienced net under-coverage almost as -high as Black men. (Hogan 1991,1992; Robinson et al 1991). The profile of the undercounted from demographic analysis and the PES imply that more minority adult men are o...
