 provinces the nationalities are divided as fol- 

 lows : Littoral : Germans, 4.30 per cent. ; Slo- 

 ventzi, 42.01; Croatians, 21.13; Italians, 31.01; 

 Galicia: Germans, 3.07; Poles, 42.32; Ruthe- 

 nes, 43.93; Israelites, 10.62; Bukowina: Ger-

 Roumanians, 39.41 ; Israelites, 9.34; Dalmatia :

 cent, of the entire population, the Czechs, 

 Moravians and Slovacks, 18.41 per cent., the 

 Poles, 6.86, the Ruthenians, 8.51, the Slo-

 the Magyars, 16.01, the Italians, 1.66, the 

 Roumanians, 7.54, the Israelites, 3.86, all
