It must be understood that work on this branch of the census is still in progress, and that there are still some omissions to be supplied and corrections to be made. This will explain the blank spaces in the table which follows. The figures given are worthy of confidence, except those for benevolent institutions, which are approximately correct, as stated above.

TABLES RELATING TO THE INSANE.

19  

The tables which follow seem to explain themselves sufficiently, without comment. The questions asked were sometimes very fully answered, sometimes not; but the number of failures to reply is indicated by the words "Not stated."

20  

Separate tables have been prepared, exhibiting the statistics of institutions, apart from the general population; but I do not give them.
