Comparability — General
In the 1868 Egypt dataset, 13 out of 23 provinces are entirely missing. We cannot confirm whether the 1868 census was a nationwide census whose registers did not survive or rather a partial one that was not completed for some unknown reason.
The districts of Suez, Siwa, and the Middle regions are missing from the 1848 sample.
