Number and Population of Municipalities by Size of Population, Japan Proper (1898-Oct. 1, 1935) : Statistical Yearbook of Imperial Japan 59 (1940) Table 8

PERIOD: At the end of every 5 years from 1898 to 1918. As of October 1st every 5 years from 1920 to 1935. NOTE: Individual towns and villages that were combined under the Municipal Government Act are counted separately. However, in the surveys in 1898 and 1903, the combined villages of Oshima County in Kagoshima Prefecture were not surveyed individually and are recorded as one combined village. The population figures in the columns for 1898 year-end to 1913 year-end are the "type A" de facto population  (see page 17 of the 1916 Statistical Yearbook of Imperial Japan), while the figures for 1920, 1925, 1930, and 1935 are from the Population Censuses conducted in those years. .

时期：自1898年至1918年，每五年一次，于每年10月1日进行；自1920年至1935年，同样每五年一次，于每年10月1日进行。注：根据市町村制合并的城镇和村庄，仍分别计数。然而，在1898年和1903年的调查中，鹿儿岛县大隅郡合并的村庄并未单独调查，而是记录为一个整体的村庄。1898年年末至1913年年末的各列人口数据为‘类型A’事实上的实际人口（参见1916年《大正帝国统计年鉴》第17页），而1920年、1925年、1930年和1935年的数据则来源于那一年进行的户籍普查。来源：[帝国内阁统计局调查]。
