Total estimated population of the colony on 31st December, 1901 437,335 393,465 830,800

NOTE.—The above figures do not include the population of the Cook Islands, which were proclaimed to be within the boundaries of New Zealand on and after the 11th June, 1901. The estimated population of the colony for 31st December, 1900, as given, has been corrected from the actual numbers ascertained at the census of 31st March, 1901, or three months later.

CHINESE.—Chinese are included in the population given above. The number in New Zealand on 31st December, 1901, was estimated to be 2,846, of whom 31 were females.

REMARKS.—Excluding Maoris, the population of the colony increased by 19,379, or at the rate of 2·52 per cent., during the year. To this increase, excess of births over deaths contributed 12,857, and excess of arrivals over departures 6,522. But 1,178 men, forming the military contingents, were sent to South Africa during the year. Deducting these from the total of departures would give an excess of arrivals amounting to 7,700 persons.

The birth-rate for the colony in 1901 was 26·34 per 1,000 of mean population, and the death-rate 9·81, as against 25·60 and 9·43 respectively in 1900.

The deaths in 1901 (7,634) exceeded the number registered in 1900 (7,200) by 434, and cause an increase in the rate per 1,000 from 9·43 to 9·81.
