Maybe Physicians Returns-- see following
In 1880, to again improve recording accuracy, enumerators were instructed to
visit the attending physicians recorded for each death. Separate registers with
the same questions listed on the mortality schedules, called "physician's
returns," were mailed to all physicians, to be completed and returned by the end
of the census year.
While only about 40 percent of the physician forms were collected at the Census
Office, they produced over 60,000 additional names that had not been recorded by
the enumerators.

Often on the mortality Schedules, instead of a household number, the
initials
P. R. Are written in. What does that mean? Any idea?
