Compared with the corresponding quarter for the preceding year, the net gain from natural increase in 1924 was slightly lower, due to a falling-off in the number of births; the net loss from migration was considerably lower than experienced in June quarter, 1923. During June quarter, 1924, the population (including Maoris) of the North Island increased by 3,004; that of the South Island suffered a decrease of 1,031.
