1 Populations have been estimated by the arithmetical method. Owing to recent unusual migrations of 
the population and to the fact that 1917 is far away from the last census year, the estimates are prob- 
ably too high in some cases and too low in others. 
2 These rates represent annual rates per 1,000 estimated population.
