(With Map.) 



The present number of the University Quarterly furnishes the 

 complete map of foreign settlements in Kansas promised in Vol. I. 

 No. 2. Referring to the article there, I add the details of other 

 counties with revised summaries. I am enabled to print the map 

 through the co-operation of Mr. F. D. Coburn, Secretary of the State 

 Board of Agriculture. 



Atchison. — No detailed report, but has according to the census of 

 the Fifth Biennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture, Germans 

 1500, Irish 690, Skandinavians 190, and a total foreign-born popula- 

 tion of 3620, mostly in the city of Atchison. 



Barber. — No detailed report, only small numbers of foreigners 

 scattered through county; (lermans 42, Skandinavians 15. 



Barton. — Germans about F^llinwood; about Odin and to n. line of 

 county Austro-Hungarians and Luxemburgers; also about Olmutz 

 Austrians; Russo-German Lutherans in the northwest corner of the 

 county. In all these settlements (over 1600 Germans), churches and 

 in several, schools. 



Bourbon. — No distinct settlements, but 450 Germans and a few 

 other foreigners in the county, mostly in Ft. Scott and in the coal 

 mines.
