  An improved procedure is suggested for finding the total photoabsorption
cross section on the neutron from data on the deuteron at energies < 1.5 GeV.
It includes unfolding of smearing effects caused by Fermi motion of nucleons in
the deuteron and also takes into account non-additive contributions to the
deuteron cross section due to final-state interactions of particles in single
and double pion photoproduction. This procedure is applied to analysis of
existing data.
