iireii (•o\ered shows an excess of 1G2 females in a pojmlation of 6,0!)4. 

 In spite of this fact, the age group, "under 5 years" shows a mah' 

 excess of 39, which agrees Avith the birth records of the town of the 

 past two years and which also show an excess of males. The excess 

 of females is found principally in the groups ''5 to 9 years," "15 to 19 

 years," and "20 to 24 years." In the groups "10 to 14 years" and "25 

 to 29 years" the sexes are almost exactly equal, while in all the groups 

 falling between the ages of 30 and 60 a slight excess of males is shown. 

 The excess of females in the groups "15 to 19 years" and "20 to 24 years" 

 is probably to be explained to some extent at least, by the more pro- 

 nounced tendency in the male to emigrate between those ages in search 

 of better educational facilities, or of better opportunities of gaining a 

 livelihood. This tendency would not apply to the group "5 to 9 3''ears." 

 In this group there are 347 females to 300 males, an excess of 47, which 

 almost exactly coincides with the group "under 5 years" of 1903, in 

 which there were 443 females to 399 males, or an excess of 44. The 

 explanation is probably to be found in an upward swing in the female 

 birth rate during the early half of the present decade. The total present 

 population and its distribution in sex and age groups are shown in Table 

 1, and the percentage of distribution in Table 2.
