Patterson, 1886, p. 204. The age groupings included in this 

 report are nonadditive or overlapping; the number of 

 children aged between 6 and 16 is given, together with 

 the number of females aged over 14 and the number of 

 males aged over 18. These three groups do not equal 

 the total given, nor is the number of children under 6 years 

 of age included in the report.

Vandever, 1889. 



Vandever, 1890. The discrepancy between this figure and 

 that given by the same agent for the year previous is not 

 explained although Vandever mentions some 900 deaths 

 during the year due to a throat disease resembling 

 diptheria. 



Bureau of the Census, 1894, table v. Matthews (1893) 

 criticized this figure as being too high, apparently accept- 

 ing Vandever's estimate for this year as more accurate.
