An interesting feature of external migration figures published in the latest ‘ Abstract of Statistics ’ is the increase shown in the number of Chinese included in the arrivals in New Zealand compared with recent years. The increase in the number of Chinese women arriving is particularly large. The total number of Chinese arriving in 1939 was 651, of whom 336 were men (322 -in 1938 and 314 in 1937) and 315 were women (101 in 1938 and 46 in 1937). Departures were 96, of whom 86 were men (180 in 1938 and 256 in 1937) and 10 were women (20 in 1938 and 23 in 1937). The excess of arrivals over departures, therefore, was 555, of whom 250 were men (142 in 1938 and 58 in 1937) and 305 were women (81 in 1938 and 23 in 1937).,
