Total estimated population of the colony on 31st March, 1898	..	..	407,652	363,915	771,567

Later information cannot be given, as the births and deaths of Maoris are not recorded.

REMARKS.—The above figures show that for the March quarter there was a natural increase to the population of the colony amounting to 2,830 persons, being the excess of births over deaths. This natural increase is not so great as that for the March quarter of 1897, when the colony added 2,959 persons to its numbers by births over deaths.

In regard to arrivals and departures, it will be seen that New Zealand lost, during the three months, 173 persons, being the excess of departures over arrivals. In the March quarter of 1897 the movement was more satisfactory, as the colony gained 528 persons by excess of arrivals.

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 ...
