*The decrease in Non-Chinese maritime population between the years 1921 and 1931 is considered to be due to the slump which Hong Kong was suffering from at that time and in the circumstances it is not considered that the decrease has been maintained. The 1931 figure has therefore been retained.

†It will be seen from the above figures that there was a slight decrease in the maritime population between the years 1921 and 1931. This was due to the fact that many were not counted in 1931, and a figure of 100,000 has been taken for some years past as a more accurate estimation of this section of the population.

2. Births and birth-rates.

15. In 1938 the number of births registered at some eighteen register offices amounted to 35,893 of which 558 were non-Chinese. This compares with 32,303 of which 692 were non-Chinese in 1937.

16. The following table provides a means of comparison with previous years :-
