===Indians<ref>{{Citation:Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses From 1790 to 2000.pdf/Citation Listing}} 17.</ref>===
By the phrase ‘‘Indians not taxed’’ is meant Indians living on reservations under the care of Government agents, or roaming individually, or in bands, over unsettled tracts of country.
Indians not in tribal relations, whether full-bloods or halfbreeds, who are found mingled with the white population, residing in white families, engaged as servants or laborers, or living in huts or wigwams on the outskirts of towns or settlements are to be regarded as a part of the ordinary population of the country for the constitutional purpose of the apportionment of Representatives among the states, and are to be embraced in the enumeration.
===Names<ref>{{Citation:Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses From 1790 to 2000.pdf/Subsequent Note}} 19.</ref>===
In column numbered 3 is to be entered the name of every person whose ‘‘usual place of abode’’ on the 1st day of June, 1880, was in that family.

Ages.—The exact age in figures will be inserted in column 6 whenever the same can be obtained; otherwise, the nearest approximation thereto. Children who, on the 1st of June, 1880, were less than a year old, will have their age stated by the fractional part of the year, as (1 month), 1/12; (3 months), 3/12; (9 months), 9/12, etc. In all other cases months will be omitted.
Color.—It must not be assumed that, where nothing is written in this column, ‘‘white’’ is to be understood. The column is always to be filled. Be particularly careful in reporting the class mulatto. The word is here generic, and includes quadroons, octoroons, and all persons having any perceptible trace of African blood. Important scientific results depend upon the correct determination of this class in schedules 1 and 5.
