In the United States. the moro impor-

cording to the ceusus lists, there lived
in the United States in the summer of

for 1869 and 1870, amounting to 169..
600. In this total the emigrants from
Russia and Russian Poland arc omitted,
as offsetting the Prussian Poles, who are
not of German extraction. This gives
grand total of 1,886,0O persons of
German descent born in Europe aud
living In this country in 1870. 10 this
number are to be added the descendants
OF German emigrants born III the States.
The census OF the first generation Of all
nationalities amounts to 4746,2Ol.
Divided pro rata. this would give l, ,6OS,-
O0O descendants of Germans. The lat
ter generations which remain to be add
ed have to be obtained mainly by esti-

very small; but, during the. past fifty
years. it has rapidly Increased, rs will
be seen by the following: From 1911 to
1880, 1929; from 1881 to 1910, 1872, ,454;
from 1S4l to 1850, 434. 626; from 1851
