VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
In accordance with the prevailing custom, I have adopted the
Registrar-General's estimate of the population for the purposes of this
Report, and this was calculated to have been 88,040 at the middle of. the
year 1925.
The sex percentages at the Census of 1921 were 38'6 males
and 61.4 females.
I have prepared the following estimates, based upon the Census
figures, of the population of each Ward.
