attended with uncertainty, for this reason (amongst others), that there are no means of ascertaining the amount of Overland Migration. As some aid, however, to such an estimate, the following figures are given, showing the excess of Arrivals over Departures, or of Departures over Arrivals, at the Ports of the several Provinces during the Half-year ending June 30th:—
Auckland, Excess of Arrivals, 742 ; Taranaki, Excess of Departures, 88 ; Wellington, Excess of Arrivals, 2,083 ; Hawke’s Bay, Excess of Arrivals, 270 ; Nelson, Excess of Arrivals, 100 ; Marlborough, Excess of Departures, 143 ; Canterbury, Excess of Arrivals, 277 ; Otago, Excess of Departures, 2,064 ; Southland, Excess of Departures, 691.
Subject to the qualifications above stated, as to the uncertainty attending this mode of estimating the Population of each Province, and as to the absence of all the information specially relating to the month of December which would be necessary to make the calculation (such as it is) complete, the following figures are given as indicating, more or less approximately, the Population of the several Provinces on the 30th of June:—
| M. | F. | Total. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auckland | 29,206 | 19,213 | 48,419 |
| Taranaki | 2,690 | 1,597 | 4,287 |
| Wellington | 10,172 | 7,248 | 17,420 |
| Hawke’s Bay | 2,704 | 1,392 | 4,096 |
| Nelson | 7,052 | 5,416 | 12,468 |
| Marlborough | 3,947 | 1,479 | 5,426 |
| Canterbury | 19,946 | 14,032 | 33,978 |
| Otago | 30,129 | 16,769 | 46,898 |
| Southland | 4,132 | 3,222 | 7,354 |
