DOMINION POPULATION.
LAST YEAR'S FIGURES. Last year was notable, not only for the high death rate in New Zealand, but also for a great decrease in the number of births. The population allowed a natural increase of only 9,490, instead of an increase of over 17,000, as had been the average for the preceding ten years. The position is shown by a comparison of the figures for last year and those for the year 1917: — Excess Rirths. Deaths. lilrths. 1017 .. -JS.-j.-i:) 10,608 17.771 iaia .. L'j.suo ii>,3U4 0,-siw
