The value of the columns showing the proportion of Electors to the Population is qualified by the fact, that in numerous
instances Electors are non-resident, many having votes in more than one District. As respects the Electoral Districts of Taranaki,
there is, moreover, the special consideration that, in consequence of the war, the great bulk of the population of the Province has
been congregated in the town of New Plymouth.

The Totals of Male Population in this Table vary in some instances from those in Table No. 3, published in the Gazette of
May 18th, having been corrected from the latest Returns forwarded by the Census Enumerators.

The Military Settlers, &c., are not included in the above Table. The numbers in the shipping in the various harbors have
also been deducted from the Population of the respective Electoral Districts.

• The Electoral District of the Otago Gold Fields, (returning two Members, which make the House of Representatives
  consist of fifty-seven Members, instead of fifty-five as above) is not included in the foregoing Table, as from the nature of the
  qualification of the Electors (defined in "The Miners' Representation Act Amendment Act, 1863,") no Electoral Roll for it can
  be formed in the usual way. But the Population of the Gold Fields in Otago, at the time of taking the Census, (December, 1864)
  was as follows:-Number of Males aged 21 years and upwards, 11,838, (included in the above numbers for Hampden, Bruce, and
  Wallace). Total Male Population, 13,276; Females, 2,375; Total Population, 15,651.
