It may ho mentioned that the Registrar-General (Mr E. J. von Daclolszen) holds that there is no reason why Potone should bo included as a suburb of Wellington City in this connection. lie points out that Putono is separated from Wellington by several miles of uninhabited country, and is in other ways quite distinct from the city —as much distinct, in fact, as any portion of the Hutt Valley. The following interesting details of the population of tho four chief centres of the colony have been supplied by Mr von Dadelszcn:- —
