GEOGRAPHY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

stises, typographical errors make the figures for single counties 

 or regions unreliable, but of course they do not affect the totals for 

 the whole area so much. In the next table, as in that for 1895. 

 only three columns of figures are given, one for central Florida, 

 one for the rest of the State, and one for the whole State. St. 

 Lucie County was cut off from Brevard shortly before this cen- 

 sus, making the area to be included in central Florida smaller, but 

 not materially affecting the ratios.
