246 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY I3TH ANNUAL REPORT 



race and nativity. The figures for 1900 are not quite as accu- 

 rate as those for 19 10, for the former census did not give the total 

 number of persons over 10 in each county, and that has been es- 

 timated, on the assumption that the proportions of different 'age 

 groups were the same as in 19 10. The counties used in comput- 

 ing the regional averages are the same as already stated in the re- 

 gional descriptions. Three regions are represented by two or 

 three counties each, five by only one, and two not at all. 



As in all other tables from here on in which different regions 

 are contrasted, the highest number in each line is printed in heavy 

 type and the lowest in italics, to show which regions lead or lag 

 behind in any one particular.
