EARTH, THE. 



S89 



periodical, Die Bevolkerung der Erde (The 

 retaliation of the Earth, Gotha, 1876), give 

 tin- following estimates of the area and popu- 

 lation of the large divisions of the world : 



The estimate of the total population in 1876 

 is an increase of over 27,000,000 on the esti- 

 mate of 1875. In Europe the augmentation is 

 chiefly due to the excess of hirths over deaths, 

 both of which are now officially registered in 

 most of the European countries. In the other 

 large divisions of the world the changed figures 

 are the result of more accurate information on 

 regions hitherto but little known.
