Exhibiting the proportion which the resident marriages in PERTH and the 

 suburban district of Kinnoul, during the years 1837, 1838, 1839, 1840 

 and 1841, bear to the population of these years; also the average annual 

 amount of marriages to the mean population. 



Dundee. 



It will be found, that of the inhabitants of the town of Dundee, the ave- 

 rage annual number of males married during the years 1837, 1838, 1839, 1840 

 and 1841 is519f, females 504j; the total average annual number of indi- 

 viduals married during these years being 1023f. 



Therefore the average annual number of males 

 married in Dundee, compared with the to- 

 tal number of males as ascertained by the 

 Census of 1841, is as 1 to 54*486, or 1*835 per cent.

 ried, to the female population, is as 1 to 65*904, or 1*517 per cent. 



Greater proportion of the male than of the 



female population married, by , 0*318 per cent. 



While there is on an average of these five years 0*318 per cent, more of 

 the male than of the female population of Dundee married, it appears that 

 on the average of these years there is 2*96 per cent, more males than females 

 married *. 



The average annual number of individuals married, to the total population, 

 is as 1 to 60*109, or 1*663 per cent.
