The registers mentioned in a preceding paragraph (cf. 211-4) are distinct from the population registers 1 of those countries which possess a system of continuous registration 2. In these registers every member of the population or every family may be represented by a card 3, and the register is maintained 4 or updated 4 through information which reaches it through the local registration offices and through registration of any changes of residence 5 (cf. 310-6). It is usually matched 6 with the census results and brought up to date at regular intervals by special checks 7.
- 3. A card file is a collection of cards. In general, a file is a collection of records arranged in convenient order.
