TABLES showing the numbers of arrivals in and departures from New Zealand during the year 1909, with totals for the previous nine years by way of comparison, are published for general information.

The total number of persons who arrived in the Dominion during 1909 was 38,650, as compared with an annual average of 30,847 for the previous ten years. The departures from New Zealand during the year numbered 33,931, the annual average being 22,647. The excess of arrivals over departures for the past year was 4,719 persons, a number considerably below the decennial average (8,200).

According to returns furnished by the Immigration officers, 11,184 persons arrived from the United Kingdom, and 2,676 persons departed therefor during the year. From the Commonwealth of Australia the arrivals are returned as numbering 25,548 persons, and the departures thereto as 28,995 persons. Arrivals and departures from and to other countries were 1,918 and 2,260 persons respectively.

Of the 38,650 persons who came to New Zealand last year, 4,407, or 11·40 per cent. of the total, were children—i.e., under twelve years of age; and of the 33,931 departures the children numbered 2,786, or 8·21 per cent.
