WE HAVE to thank II. H. Haytsr, Eco, tho
Government Statist of Victoria, for .
copy Of the Victorian Pear Book for l879-6O.
This book, Of 40 pages, besides index, and .
valuable map Of the colony contains an i'm
mense amount Of Information. Not only tho
statistics Of Victoria are lucidly set forth, hut
are compared with those Of all other British
colonies, and these again with almost every
country in tho world. We are sorry TO say

we see that the United Kingdoms of Great
Britain and Ireland contain population Of

United States 80, 55s,37l or II to the square
mile, Chinese Empire estimated 49,, 447, 50
or 90 to the square mile. The meet denaely

Three-ffths of the total population of tho
