it has been shown that the probable amoun.
of population acquired by additions Of tel RE

parison between The results of the present

diminish The total population of the country,
as basis Of comparison to 23,o74. .sls, and
the Increase TO 6,004, ,848. The relative
incrense, after this allowance is found to be
