“'l’he Maori -population has again increased, from 95,800 in December, 1942, to 98,300 a year later,” states the annual report of the Under-Secretary of the Native Department (Mr. G. P. Sheohci'd). “The latest estimate at Mareli 31, 1944, was 98,860, representing 148 per cent, increase over the three or four decades since 1896, when the census was 39,854. Thus, including the Macris serving overseas with the armed forces, the number of Maoris is just over 100,000, or 6 per cent, of New Zealand’s population.
