Notes:
1. Because of different census coverage and different years the figures as between England and Wales and Scotland are not strictly comparable.
2. The table include figures for county council smallholdings and Crown land.
3. Figures for England and Wales are taken from the 1974 census and those for Scotland from the 1975 census.
4. Statistically unimportant holdings are included in the numbers and acreages for Scotland.
