HONGKONG CENSUS.

Total for the Colony, 616,749.

Some weeks ago we indicated that the preliminary report of the Census Offer had been reached, and that it was to be circulated. At long last we have a copy", with the compliments of the Hon Colonial Secretary. It shows that the total population of the Colony 516.749, of which number 380,373 are males and 236,376 females. Since 1911 we have in- creased in numbers by 160,010, the figure at that Census being 156, 739.

is

The report states:

"The Census of the Colony was taken in the City of Victoria, Shaukiwan and the Kowloon Peninsula (except Kowloon City). Jon April 24th; in the New Ter- ritories and Hongkong Villages between March 24th and April 24th; in the Harbour from April April, 23rd to April 26th.

The figures given in the in- nexed tables were gathered from the totals given in the enamera- tors" books, the casting of which has been carefully checked.

3. The taking of the Census gave rise to an abundant crop of puerile rumours, which gained wide currency and caused no little alarm, especially among the fami-i lies of lower and middle class Chinese: a discussion of over- crowding by the Sanitary Board shortly before the date of the Census without doubt gravely affected the accuracy of the re- turns made by householders in the congested areas.

4. The date fixed for the Census proved to be very unfortunate:-

ta). In the New Territories

the majority of the in- habitanta were found to be absent from their houses the whole day long, being busily engag- ed 10 preparations for planting the first crap of paddy, and the enumera- tors experienced siderable difficulty in ob- taining the requisite in- formation.

con-

(b). In the Island of Hung- kong and the Mainland, large numbers of the Chinese adult male popu- lation were absent in their native villages, the date being the middle of} the Ching Ming Festival;} thus in several middle, class residential sections the females were found to equal or exceed the males. The enumerators also re- ported difficulty in many cases, where all the adult males in a family were absent, in obtaining the. necessary information from the females left behind.
