POPULATION OF METROPOLITAN AND SUBURBAN AREAS.

NOTE.—For various purposes (vital statistics, &c.) metropolitan areas have been created at each of the four chief centres, and suburban areas at nine of the more important secondary centres. Each area includes, in addition to the central borough and suburban boroughs, a considerable non-municipalized area adjacent to and contingent on the centre. The figures given are not comparable with those of last Census relating to the cities and towns and their suburbs, the new metropolitan and suburban areas comprising in each case a larger area than was included last Census.
