 Race and Nativity.
 Racia1Iy the population of the ter ritory is extremely Heterogeneous. In 1910 the pure Caucasian element numbered A. .04s, consututing 28 per cent, or a little over one-hfth of the total population. Of this class, which T-car1 1f6aI elements. 22,301, or slightly mcrel than one-half. were Portuguese, 1890 were Porto Rican. 1,990 were Span fish, and 14,S67 were of other Cauca- sian descent
 The Japanese, numbering 79, ,675, constituted 41-5 per cent, or more than two-dfths, of the total popula- while the Japanese. Chinese, and Ko- reans combined numbered 1O5, ,8S2, or 55-2 per cent. of the total population Persons of pure native Hawaiian stock numbered zep041 and constitut- ed 1s.6 per cent of Che population.
 In the decade 19oo-191O the num- Der of Caucasians in the populationI increased IS, ,229 or 52.S per cent, the percentage of increase for this race being practically the same in this as in the preceding decade. The in crease of the Japanese in the decade 1 19oo-1e1O was 1s,564. or BOA per cent In the same period the Chi nese decreased 4,093. or 15.9 per can't
 The number of pure Hawaiians de- creased from 34,436 in 1890 to 26,-l cade 1eoO-1910 being somewhat less than that in the preceding decade 3,758. or 12.e per cent-,i as compared with 4.eS7, or 13-5 per cent
 Slightly more than one-half (9S, ,157, or 51.1 per cent-) of the population in 1910 was native. and slightly less than one-half (93.T52, 48-9 per cent-0 foreign born. The native ele- ment embraces all persons born in Hawaii, or in any state or outlying | possession Of the United States. Perl sons born in Porto Rico or in the Philippine Islands. whether of Porto Rfcan. Filipino. or other racial origin are accordingly classified as native. For the Japanese the percentage na- tive was 26s for the Chinese, 33.2; for the Portuguese, 61-7; and for the ''other Caucasian" element 66.7.
 Percentage.
 Of the ss,157 natives, less than one- half-47,s47, or 4s.2 per cent.-re- ported both parents native; 41,387, or 42-2 per cent. reported both parents foreign born; and 9,42S, or 9.6 per cent, reported one parent native and one foreignborn. Of the 9,423 na- tives reporting one parent foreign born S.SzS. reported foreign-bo fathers and only LIDO foreign-born | mothers. The large proportion wieh foreignborn fathers among the part Hawaiians of mixed native and for eign-born parentage may be noted as specifically indicative of the process by which the native Hawaiian stock is being merged with other races.
 Sex.
 In the population of the territory 1 Toe. 7,7 6S, ,81o females, the number of males to females being 17s.9. In 1900 the ratio was 223-3 males to 100 females. Among Hawafians the number of males to 100 females in 1910 was 106-s; among the Portuguese, 1O7.8; among the Chinese, 37s.s; and among the Japanese, 220.1. In each age group for which 1900 data are given. the proportion of females increased during the decade 19oo-191o.
 Age Of the total population in 1910, 3e-6 per cent were under 20 years of age The proportion under 20. how ever, varied greatly in the different 1 races Of the Asiatic Hawaiians 70.9 ' per cent were under 20. The per centage was relatively high also among the Caucasian Hawadians 63.S; the Portuguese. 56-s; the Porto Ri- { cans, 4s-e; and the SpaQiards, 5s.e. It was relatively low among those classified as ''other Caucasian 2e3 the Chinese, 2s-S; the Japanese, 2S3; and the Koreans, 14.9; in which races . the immigrant or foreign-born eIe- nent is large. Among the pure Ha- waiians the percentage under 20 wasI 3e-9.
