Listing the ten leading conntries from which the greatest num- 

 ber of emigrants have come from 1900 to 1910, we have the fol- 

 lowing in the order of their importance : Germany, Hungary, 

 Austria, Ireland, England, Russia, Italy, Canada, Sweden, Scot- 

 land. These ten countries have provided over 90 per cent of all 

 of the foreign population. Germans, from 1900 to 1910, comprised 

 over 40 per cent of the total; from 1890 to 1900, over 50 per 

 cent, and from 1880 to 1890 almost 60 per cent. Table 9 lists 

 these ten leading countries with number of immigrants from each 

 from 1890 to 1900, and Graph 2 pictures these facts for 1910.
