POPULATION.
The undermentioned figures are abstracted from the Registrar-General's
Report, dated 30th December, 1901, on the Census of England and Wales,
1901 (County of London).

City of London672.75,3403,86537,70226,923

For Registration, Parliamentary and Municipal purposes the boundaries
of the City are co-terminous.
These figures represent the population on the night of the 1st April, 1891
and 1901.
A Day Census—the number of persons actively engaged in the City during
the daytime—has been taken on three occasions, viz., in 1866, 1881, and
1891. It is a matter for regret that no Day enumeration was made in the
City during the last Imperial Census year.
