POPULATION.
The estimated population is 111,330. This is calculated
by multiplying the number of inhabited houses by
the number of inhabitants per house at the last Census
report. This is probably somewhat below the real figures,
and it may be pointed out that an estimated population
can only be approximately correct, and that the liability
to error increases in proportion to the length of time which
has elapsed since the last Government Census was taken.

was 300. The number of these registered as being illegitimate

nearly 2 per 1,000 from that of 1906. Average birthrate
for past 10 years, 28.6.
