* Excluding holdings of less than 1 acre, but including 35,554 holdings returned as of exactly 1 acre. 
+ The totals of holdings in these years are not comparable with those for other years. These figures are numbers of returns received, and 
in these earlier years when distribution of holdings by size-groups was undertaken the number of holdings was usually given as less than the 
aumber of returns.
