Decrease. † Later information is not available, as the births and deaths of Maoris are not recorded.

Note.—The natural increase for the quarter—i.e., the excess of births over deaths—amounted to 2,675 persons—1,249 males and 1,426 females. The departures from the colony, however, exceeded the arrivals by 2,324 persons, of whom 1,679 were males and 645 females. Of this loss by excess of outgo, 2,188 were counted in the returns as adults—i.e., over twelve years of age—and 136 as children.

The net loss to the colony by departures to the United Kingdom during the three months was 329 persons; to New South Wales, 1,925; to Victoria, 14; to Fiji, 15; to other British possessions, 40; Pacific Islands, 6; and other foreign ports, 69. The only gain was 74 persons from Tasmania. 29 of the departures were persons who left Lyttelton for Monte Video.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
