Duration of Marriage and Number of Offspring 
D. On the Correlation between Duration of Marriage of Females and Number 
of Offisprincj — at various ages at Marriage. 
There are two methods by which the necessary information may be obtained: 
first, by noting at death the date of and age at marriage and the total offspring ; 
second, at a census obtaining the information direct from the living married 
women. In New South Wales the materials requisite for both methods are 
available, but the information for the first method refers to women who at the 
time of death were either married or widows, or who had been separated from 
their husbands. This information will be found in the '■ Vital Statistics " of
