ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

PORT OP AUCKLAND,

YEAR'S GAIN, OF 1945,

The migration statistics for the Port of Auckland for 1913, compared with the figures recorded in other years, show that the excess of arrivals over departures is very much larger than has been the case in any other year.

The total number of people who arrived in Auckland during 1913 was 13,238, while the departures numbered 11,293, and tho excess of arrivals over departures was thus 1945. These figures compare favourably with those for 1912, when there was an excess of arrivals over departures of 1132, and for 1911, when the departures outnumbered the arrivals by 931.

The excess of arrivals over departures during the month just past was 62/9, the actual figures) being arrivala 1389, departures 760. , For .the same month < of last year the excess was 1019, but this somewhat unfavourable comparison may be accounted for by the fact that there were only four boats from Sydney last month instead of the usual five or six. The following comparative tablo gives the figures for tho'l2 months, of 1911, 1912, and 1913:i 1913. 1912. 1911. An. Dep. Arr. Dep.
