%. II per cent. Of the total Combining
Great Britain and Ireland we find
total Of 2.956.259. or 2S.59 per cent. Of
the whole. But taking England and
Wales and Scotland apart from Ireland,
the total is only 1621624. and the per-
centage 1858. while ireland alone sent
us 1.834635 immigrants, or 1921 per
cent. Of the entire number. The Scan
dfnavians from Denmark, Norway and
Sweden come next, with a total Of 1,151,-
90. and a percentage Of lib. Some
what behind them are the Czechs, Mag
vars and Slavs from Bohemia, Hungary,
Poland. Roumania and Russia, showing
to.a. Of 9S6.676. and 9.54 per cent. of
the whole immigration. A consider
able portion Of this latter contribution
mus. obviously, be jewish. The Latin
inning ants are credited to Belgium.
France. Italy. spain and Portugal and
number S7L6S4 being $40 per cent. OF
the total Of Swiss. Greeks, Turks and
Europeans NOT specified. there are, IN all,
only 40 per cent. Of which 1.31 per
cent. is from Switzerland, making the
sum Of European immigration 1894 per
cent. of all.
The North American Immigration is
chiefly from Canada. but The returns of
/ the share Of the latter are very imper-
/ feet. no reports having been made since
July 1. 1855. The partial figures show
an immigration from British America
in the fifteen years Of which reports are
given amounting TO 1901. or 80 per
cent. but if the unrecorded ten years
were on q par with those recorded. the
total wceld have 10 be expanded to
