118. You should ask all occupants of a dwelling what is the construction material that predominates the exterior walls, and mark it according to what is specified in the Census document.
[p. 37]
The following explanations will help you to determine the nature of some materials:
a) Ticholos are bricks with holes in them;
b) The flat and wavy sheets of fiber cement are also known with the name of its factory brand, like Dolmenit, Eternit, Fibrolit, etc.
119. Classify the predominant materials in the walls of the following dwellings:

[Below the text are two charts, one with case no. 1, 5 and 6 marked for "Masonry" box, case 3 for "Wood, pieces of zinc, fibro cement" box, case 2 for "Mud" box, case 4 for "Tin or waste material" box and none for "Other"]
120. In certain dwellings, the external walls are built with more than one of the materials specified in the Census Document, for example:
a) Bricks and concrete blocks
b) Bricks and Dolmenit
c) Stones and wood
[p. 38]
As you will understand, the first example will not present difficulties, since both materials are marked in the box ____
[] 1 Masonry: bricks, concrete blocks, ticholos, stones, etc.
121 In both remaining cases, both materials are marked in different boxes. If you mark only one, when more than one material exists, mark the one that predominates.
