4 Statistics of Van Diemen’s Land. 
in Hobart Town and Launceston were each 9°7 per cent. 
Taking the entire population, an average is given of 1 
house to 7 persons; but, deducting the inmates of bar- 
racks and prisons throughout the Territory, the proportion 
would probably not exceed 1 to 5. 
Table 6 is the account of the Aboriginal Inhabitants 
of Van Diemen’s Land, now located at Oyster Cove, in 
D’Entrecasteaux Channel. In 1849 the race comprised a 
scanty remnant of 11 men, 23 women, and 7 children— 
5 of whom were being educated at the Queen’s Orphan 
Schools. The expense of this establishment is borne upon 
the Land Fund, and amounted for the past year to 
£1416 18s. 
Tables 7 and 8 show the amount of Emigration to and 
from Van Diemen’s Land during 1849; the total arrivals 
being 5145, and of departures 5014. Of the number who 
arrived in our ports, 43°90 per cent. were adult Free Per- 
sons, and 87°56 were Convicts, in addition to 7°69 per 
cent. Military, and 10°84 Children. Of those who quitted 
our shores, 50 per cent. had originally arrived free, or 
were born in the Colony; 14°3 per cent. had become free 
by servitude; and 7°9 per cent. held conditional pardons ; 
besides 15°58 per cent. Military, and 12 per cent. Children. 
By analysis of the table of Departures, with the two ex- 
ceptions of Military and Children, whose destination cannot 
be specified, we obtain the following results :—
