Ratio Between Men and Women.

Prof. W. X Brooks. of Baltimore. has
discovered that a favorable environment
tends to produce an excess Of females
among animals and plants, AMI an unia
vorable environment an excess OF males.
If this be true, a race or species which Is
IN the point Of extinction should have an
excess Of males.
The population Of Australia consists Of
small and decreasing number Of aborig-
Ines, and prosperous and increasing pop
llation Of foreign settlers and their de
scendants. amounting in all to nearly
3. 600. 900 persons As the native pOpula
ton is rapidly disappearing, We should
expect to lind the males more numerous
among them as compared with the fe
males than among the inhabitants Of for.
eign origin. provided other conditions are
pnnai For each 100 females there were Ia
Victoria Of native born Australians lOO2-lO
males. and of foreigners, exclusive OF
Chinese. 1919 10 males. The ratio OF
males 10 females in the population Of FOR
eirn origin is therefore very much greater
than it would be II it depended upon the
birth rate alone. and as this modifying IL
luence does lot affect the abOrigines, al
excess OF males among them. no greater,
or even a little less, than that found
among the inhabitants OF foreign origin,
would indicate that the excess of male
births il much greater among them than
among the people of foreign origin. Com
putation shows that the excess of males
among the aboriglnes is, notwithstanding
these neutralizing influences, very much
greater than it is among the foreign pop
ulation
For all Australia there are 1872 abo-
riginal males to each 100 females; there
are only lis 60 males Of foreign descent
to each 100 females, Notwithstanding the
fact that 1919 males settled in these colo
uies to each 100 females
