According to the report the population of
the colony has nearly trebled itself in fifty
yearS-a circumstance which we are eDti-
tied to reckon as a distinctive mark of pro-
gresS, STILL excluding the estimate of the
%abOrigineS, we find that this Census shows
an increase of &c, 142, or in incorporation OF
1896 per cent. or, as The Registrar further
puts it almost equivalent to the addition
Of another West Coast Of Demerara.1 Tais
increase was less than was recorded in The
decennia l84I-5l, 1861-71, and 1871,8l. but
it VAS higher than in the periods 1914
and 1851-6l. Immigration, we have the
authority of the Registrar General for sta
ting, is the sole factoc which has d6termiu-
ed our increase of population all throq- h
the chapter. For this prOnopncement We
were not unprepared, however, the periodi-
cal vital statistics gong to show til 1T ia
tural increase plays little or no part in the
building up of our numbers. The increase
as SIewn by the Census enumeration ap-
pears to have been general, with the single
exception of the Upper Demerara River
district, aud as to this Mr.. Dalton puts on
record his doubts whether the whole pOpu-
lation there was really enumerated. The
returns of the three counties are thus tota-

(From the Demcrara Argosy, 18Th Dec.)

Our thanks are due to Mr.. Dalton, Regis
trar General, for a copy of his report on The
Census of 1891, a large sized document OF
over so pages produced IN a manner whlch
reflects the highest credit on the printing
establishment of Messrs. Baldwin q 20.
The compil alton comprises the Regis
trar's report on the Census returns, a col
lection of summaries explanatory OF the
sectional tables, and the respective tables
themselves. 1t is no easy or agreeable task
TO analyse amass of figures such rs are
contained in a work of this description, but
an the decennial " numbering of the people
marks an epoch in our history as a colony
Il becomes the duty, nevertheless OF the
journalist to select for submission to the
ordinary newspaper reader the figures
which are most interesting and instructive.
The Census, it will be remembered, was
taken on the 5th April last, in common
with the United Kingdom and the whole OF
the. British dependencies. The necessary
arrangements here were entrusted to Mr..
w. J. Fowler, the Statist attached to the
Registrars Office, he having special quail
f~cations fer the post, besides the intimacy
with the colony acquired by him in several
Other branches of the public service. lt
il worthy of note that this was the first
occasion on which the general Registry had
charge of the Census, but the enl-
Cheney with which it has been per ormed
oight.to leave no doubt as to the prOpriety
OF Continuing the work by that Department.
We learn from the report that the Census
papers-schedules, e~numerators, books,
commissioners returns, &c.-aggregated
over 6o0paicels, weighing about q tons and
that this large mass was forwarded through
the Post Office without a single mistake
, 1892-01-20

or mis-carrlage--a fact exceedingly credi-
table to the Postal Department. In the
taking OF the Census there were 1,07S EMU
meratOrs employed, and 211 commissioners.
A 20 the moduS operandi, Mr.. Dalton says -
III Georgetown andIthe other settled parts
of the colony the difficulties TO be met with
i. were such as occur in England and other
civilized countries, namely, the intricacieS
Of streets and ho SEES, and the preiudices
Of their inhabitants, but it was far other
wise in the outlying and remote portions
of the colony. When it is borne i'll mind
how seattle ed the settlements are in the
interior ,&nd IN the remote parts Of the colony
it will be easy to realize that there must
have been Nome curious pict res OF Census
operations to- be seen. Commissioner aud
Enumerators bad in many c Uses to be car
ried with theiC bundles of schedules in
bAteaux up the creeks and rivers and other
waterways Of the COLONY, Journeys not alto
gethpr unattended with dangec.
1t is somewhat to no regretted that the
Registrar did not devote - little space 60
the curious pictures of Census operations"
referred to in the foregoing quotation, aud
his report might also have been enlivened
by a clapteC on the :HumOurS ofthe Cen
snS." As it il, tbs report is most formid-
ably statistical. 1t is due to the Depart
ment, however, to state. that The work Of
the Census was, performed with almost
phenomenl ii alacrity. The last household
pr's sche Iule was received on May 9th, and
five days later a return of the population,
based Oh the commissioners abstracts, was
submitted 70 the Court Of Policy. The ia
bulation Of the returns began on May 18th,
aud was concluded on July 10Th, and the
tull return laid before the Legislature eight
days afterwards. Our readers arc air ally
aware that the total population of the colo
ny as revealed 10y the Census was 298,32S,
but i. has to be explained that this is ar
rived at by allowing 10000 as the estimate
of the Bucks in the interior. The Registrar
General has taken considerable pains to get
at an approximation of The numbers of our
aborigines, and 10, 900 is the estimate
he makes on the information derived from
u variety of sources. Excluding the deni-
zens Of the forest, then or population at
midnight on April 9th stood at BIS, 1913.
