Where more than one family is enumerated within a structurally separate dwelling, each is classified according to the rooms
it severally occupies and not to the total number of rooms in the dwelling'. If, as occasionally happens, one of the rooms is shared
by two families (the allotment to each family being say 4½ and 3½ in an 8-roomed dwelling) the families are classified to the next
higher integral number of rooms (5 and 4 respectively), but in arriving at the totals (column m, etc.), the actual figures (4½ and
3½) have been used.
