The current situation regarding pulsar surveys is briefly reviewed. Most of the known pulsars have been found by major radio surveys that were unbiased in the sense of more-or-less uniformly covering a given area of sky. The results from two recent such surveys, the Green Bank 390 MHz survey of Stokes et al. (1985) and the Jodrell Bank 1400 MHz survey of Clifton and Lyne (1986) are compared. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effect of observing frequency on the results of pulsar surveys and the galactic distribution of pulsars and interstellar electrons.
