Of London during the last year is
shown in the census figures. In the
interval between the census of 1911
and that of 1921 the female excess
in London rose from 1.127 to l,165 as
compared with 1000 males.
In actual figures the female excess
in London is 34i,365, an increase in
10 years of 1882. The effect of the
war on the female population Is
shown by the fact that nearly 26,o0t
of this increase. or about 36 per cent,
is accounted for by widows. While
the enumerated population of LIN
don fell nearly one per cent during
this period. widows increased in num-
Der to II per cent.
Although there was a considerable
increase in the number of persons be-
