CENSUS OF THE MAORI POPULATION, 1878 (PAPERS RELATING TO THE).

Laid on the Table hj the Hon. Mr. Sheehan, with the leave of the House.

No. 1. Cibcexah to Officees in Native Districts. Sie,— Native Office, Wellington, 17th January, 1878. I have the honor to request that you will be good enough to take a census of the Maori and lialf-caste population of your district on or about the 1st March nest, furnishing the returns to this office as soon after as possible, in any case not later than the 31st May. You will be good enough to place yourself in communication with officers in districts adjoining your own, in order to prevent the possibility of any Natives being either omitted from the census or returned more than once ; and the Hon. the Native Minister trusts that you will use your best endeavours to obtain a correct return, or, if that cannot be done, as close an approximation as possible. It is desirable that the general name of the tribe, the name of the hapu, and the place of residence should be given. The males and females over and under 15 should be shown in different columns, and the totals made up for the district. A form of return is annexed. Tou will please also furnish a report showing the rate of increase or decrease since the last census was taken, noting any prevailing disease or epidemic, and any other information bearing upon the statistics of the Maori population of your district, which may be of interest. I have, &c, T. W. Lewis, (for the Under Secretary.)

No. 2. Mr. G. Kelly, Mongonui, to the TJndee Seceetaey, Native Department. Sic, — Resident Magistrate's Office, Mongonui, 9th May, 1878. I have the honor to forward herewith the Native Census taken during the past quarter, which shows a falling oft' in the population of this district since May, 1874 (when the last census was taken), of 328 souls. This decrease is attributable to the ravages of typhoid fever of a very fatal character, which visited the northern parts of the district during the end of 1874 and the early part of 1875. Natives entirely without medical aid soon succumb to epidemics, even of a far milder nature than typhoid fever. The fever was followed by measles, which also added considerably to the mortality amongst them. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Geo. Kelly, AVellington. (in the absence of Mr. White.) I—G. 2.

No. 3. Mr. S. Yon Stuemee, E.M., Hokianga, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sic, — Resident Magistrate's Office, Hokianga, 11th May, 1878. In reply to your circular letter of the 17th January, 187S, asking for a census of the Maori and half-caste population in this district, I have the honor to forward the annexed return, which may be looked upon as strictly accurate, every name being entered in the tribal register in my office, and copies of the same having been checked at the various settlements. It will be observed that the present census shows a decrease of 8 per cent, in the Native population, since the census taken by me in 1874. A considerable number of the young men have with their families left the district for Kaipara and Whangaroa to obtain work in the extensive kauri forests connected with the different saw-mills in the above-named places, and at the same time about thirty persons belonging to Mangamuka, who have been residing on the East Coast for many years, have lately returned to their homes. Since 187-1, when the last census was taken, this district has been visited by two epidemics—viz., measles in 1875, and whooping-cough during the past and present years —both of which have carried off a large number of infants, the former also being in a great number of cases fatal to the delicate youth of both sexes. Diseases of the chest, scrofulous sores, and low fever are also very prevalent, and have been the cause of many deaths. A great deal of the sickness from which the Maori population suffers may be traced to the careless and dirty habits of the people, and I am sorry to say in very many instances to intemperance, which is as prevalent amongst the women as the men. Very many settlements, which a few years since contained a large population, are now entirely deserted, and it will be observed that a number of kaingas named in the last census do not appear in the present one. This is accounted for by the fact that, as the Natives decrease in numbers in the smaller settlements, they desert them for the larger ones, so keeping up the population in the more important places. I feel sure it must be plain to all observers that the Native population is slowly but surely passing away. Where so many causes exist, it is difficult to assign any particular reason. It is certainly not that the women are unfruitful, as it is not at all uncommon to find Natives who have been the parents of families of six or even ten children unable to succeed in rearing one. I may be in error, but I attribute a great deal of this to the inordinate use of spirits, and that of the worst possible description ; and I believe that the parents, though naturally of strong constitutions, have in many instances so debauched themselves that they cannot become the progenitors of a population as healthy as their forefathers. In closing this report, I cannot refrain from bringing to the notice of the Government the very valuable aid rendered to me by Mr. Bishop, the Clerk of the Court, and the Native chief and Assessor, Hone Mohi Tawhia, without whose united assistance it would have been almost impossible for me to have compiled so perfect and complete a return of the Native population as I now have the honor to lay before you. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Spencer Yon Stuemee, Wellington. Resident Magistrate.

No. 4. Mr. E. M. Williams, E.M., Bay of Islands, to the Undee Secbetart, Native Department. Sic, — Eesident Magistrate's Office, Waimate, Bay of Islands, 19th June, 1878. In compliance with your letter of the 17th of January last, I have the honor to transmit herewith a census of the Maori population of this district, which, having been taken with every care to avoid the possibility of any names being either omitted or twice returned, I have every reason to believe is correct. I regret having been unable to forward this return at the specified time, in consequence of the extent of the district and the scattered nature of the population rendering it difficult to obtain the necessary information within a given period. The present return shows a decrease amounting to 8 per cent, since the last census was taken. No virulent disease or epidemic has prevailed to account for this decrease, nor are the Natives generally an unhealthy race of people ; but their want of cleanliness, their careless mode of living, and reckless exposure of themselves to all weathers, are causes which, combined, render them an easy prey to disease, and when attacked they at once give up in despair. The only hope for the Native race is their being induced to adopt European habits and customs ; to cultivate cleanliness, a better attention to clothing and diet, and providing for themselves and their children some more comfortable shelter from the elements than the miserable hovels which they now call houses, and in which, with but few exceptions, they are content to huddle together in the greatest state of discomfort. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Edwaed M. Williams, R.M. Wellington.

No. 5. Mr. H. R. Aubeey, 8.M., Whangarei, to the Undee Secretary, Native Department. g IB Resident Magistrate's Office, Whangarei Heads, 20th May, 1878. I have the honor to transmit herewith the returns of the Maori and half-caste population of my district, in the form called for in your letter of the 17th January last. The information from which this census is taken has been supplied to me chiefly by the Native

3

a—2.

Assessors, Taurau Kupupa and Henare Te Mo an anui, and, combined with the particulars I was able to collect from other Natives, I have reason to think that the above returns are as nearly as possible correct. According to the last census, 445 was the total Maori population in my district, and 6G the total of the half-caste, and, by comparison with the census taken this year, it will be seen that there is a decrease of 87 in the first-named population and of 13 in the last, which may be attributed in some degree to the circumstance of the Maoris making such frequent changes in their places of residence, in fact leaving altogether their settlements in this district to live with their relations in the adjoining districts of Kaipara and Bay of Islands, or in that of Hokianga. A number of them have also died since the census taken in 1874; some of old age, but more of consumption and other diseases, the latter no doubt engendered in many instances by their excessive indulgence in ardent spirits. It is, however, worthy of remark that within the last year or two the Maoris here have become much more temperate in their habits, and the example set them by their old chief Taurau Kukupa in becoming a Good Templar has, no doubt, been so far productive of good as to cause many of his people, previously addicted to drinking, to become total abstainers ; one of the very satisfactory results of which change is, that a drunken Maori is now very rarely seen in the township of Whangarei. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, H. It. Aubrey, Wellington. Eesident Magistrate.

No. 6. Mr. J. J. Syjionds, E.M., Kaipara, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sir, — Resident Magistrate's Office, Helensville, Kaipara, Bth May, 1878. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 19th January last, and in accordance therewith to enclose a census return of the Native population in the Kaipara District. There are not any records in the office of a Native census having been taken since 1860. The present return shows a very large increase upon the number shown in the return for the year 1866. The most probable cause of this may be from the imperfect manner in which the enumeration was taken at that date. I also enclose a voucher for the sum of £3 10s., expenditure for enumeration of the settlement as shown per voucher. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, John J. Syhonds, Wellington. Resident Magistrate.

No. 7. Mr. 11. T. Kemp, C.C., Auckland, to the Under Secretart, Native Department. Sir, — Civil Commissioner's Office, Auckland, 29th May, 1878. I have the honor to forward herewith a return of the Native population in the Auckland District, in compliance with your circular letter of the 17th January last. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, H. T. Kemp, "Wellington. Civil Commissioner.

No. 8. Mr. T. Jackson, E.M., Pokeno, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sib,— Pokeno, 22 nd April, 1878. I have the honor to report for your information that the number of Natives residing within the enclosed boundai-ies, and whose names, tribes, hapus, and places of residence are stated in the accompanying sheets of pa.per, numbered from one to fifteen, amount altogether to 987 —422 males over fifteen, 801 females over fifteen, 131 males under fifteen, and 130 females under fifteen. I am sorry that I am not able to give much information as regards the increase or decrease of the Native population residing within the boundaries above referred to. I have procured a return of the number of Natives Jiving at the settlements on the West Coast, including that part of the Waiuku Resident Magistrate's District commencing at the northern head of the Waikato River, thence in a northerly direction to the Manukau Heads, taking in the following native settlements : Hamau, Whiriwhiri, Tahungatira, and Awhitu, taken in April, 1874; in that year there were 81 males over fifteen, G3 females over fifteen, 32 males under fifteen, and 40 females under fifteen ; making a total of 216. In April of this year there were living in the above settlements G3 males over fifteen (16 of these are from the King country digging gum, and shortly leave; they therefore cannot be counted as part of the permanent population), 33 females over fifteen, 28 males under fifteen, 25 females under fifteen, making a total of 149, showing a decrease in those settlements of one-third in four years. I have not been able to procure the same information as regards any other section of the Natives in my district; the boundaries have been altered since 187-4, and now include a much larger population than formerly. There are three principal causes accounting for the decrease of the Native population. First. Their love of drink. Second. The sacrifice of their females to prostitution, often when very young. Third. Their change in mode of living and clothing. Formerly they wore little or no clothes, and were from

infancy inured to the weather; and their bodies being covered with "red ochre" and oil, prevented them from feeling the changes in the weather as they seem now to do. Since taking to wear blankets and other warm clothing, they appear to have become more susceptible of cold; no doubt on account of the irregular way they clothe themselves, sometimes having sufficient, and at others having scarcely any. Most, and I think nearly all who live near European settlements, when they have funds sufficient after paying for drink and food, buy clothing ; at other times, when without sufficient to pa)' for the three necessary items, buy food and drink and neglect the clothing: they consequently are bound to suffer under such a state of things. This refers principally to Natives living near settlements where they can procure liquor. There are some Natives, leading men in this district, who never drink, and do all they can to prevent their people doing so —viz., Major Te Wheoro and Wini P. Kukutai, both Native Assessors. Such men do great good in preventing their people from cultivating habits of drunkenness. I have kuown them both, when their people have had cases in Court, to exert themselves and show anxiety to prevent them from taking too much liquor. I may say that I have been astonished to find that Natives when in liquor have not more frequently created breaches of the peace; they have a dread of the Court, and when summoned generally come or leave the district for good. During the last twelve months they have applied to the Court in cases of disputes among themselves, such as assaults and debt cases, and are now much more inclined to leave the settlement of their grievances to the Eesident Magistrate, than have them settled in their old way amongst themselves. "Whooping-cough and measles have caused many deaths amongst the Native children, many of whom would not have died if proper care had been taken, although they seem to be much more anxious about their children living than their fathers and mothers. If Assessors and policeman receiving pay from Government were obliged to attend Courts when held near their settlements, it would get them into a more regular and methodical way of doing things. "When hearing a Native case, it is better to have an Assessor to sit with you, even if ho brings no intelligence to bear on the case. The parties to the suit are themselves more satisfied, and, as the country opens up, Native cases will be of frequent occurrence. Assessors, when their own people are not interested, act very fairly, are good rcasoners, and some are remarkably clear and shrewd. The Natives in this district are anxious to be allowed to purchase powder, &c, for sporting purposes, and my impression is that a small quantity supplied to reliable Natives does good. They have on their lands birds to shoot, and it irritates them to think that they are not allowed to purchase ammunition to do so. They have this year been allowed the privilege more than formerly, and I feel sure that in this district it will cause a more contented feeling amongst the Natives. My real knowledge of the Native race is at present small, and I hope when the next census is taken to be able to furnish a more useful and reliable report. I have, &c, Thomas- Jacksox, E.M., The Hon. the Native Minister, Wellington. Papakura and "Waiuku District.

No. 9. Major Maie, Alexandra, to the Under Seceetaet, Native Department. Sib,— Alexandra, 7th May, 1878. I have the honor to forward an estimate of the Maori population of the Upper Waikato, or King country, not including the Ngatihikairo tribe, who, though partly resident in this district, belong strictly to Kawhia, and will be shown in the Eaglan returns; nor the bulk of Ngatihaua living at Moungakawa and Matamata, who will be included by Mr. Marshall in his return. As in 187 i, I have only been able to estimate the number; indeed I am satisfied that any attempt to procure accurate information would at the present time be viewed with great suspicion by the King Natives, and might possibly have a bad effect upon the negotiations now pending. I believe that the Maori population of this district is not increasing, but at the same time I fancy that the percentage of decrease is not large. Measles found a good many victims in 1875-76, and ■whooping-cough has carried off a few children during the past six months, but no other epidemics have been known, and I should say that the general health is perhaps above the average of Maori districts. I think that the non-increase of the Maori as a race may be readily traced to the prevalence of lung diseases, induced by sleeping in crowded houses; to the great infant mortality through neglect and superstition ; and, lastly, to the increasing sterility of the females. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, AVellington. W. Gr. Mair.

No. 10. Mr. E. S. Bush, Eaglan, to the Undeb Seceetaey, Native Department. Neaely the whole of the tribes on this occasion are taken by name. The Mokau and Marokopa people are the only ones not up to exact numbers, there being several omissions from my list, especially iD the case of Mokau, the population of which I should say, after careful inquiry, must be about 40 all told. It will be observed the return only shows 27, these taken by name. In the case of Marokopa there are not more than five omissions. The rest of the tribes I know personally ; their numbers are compiled from a roll made by myself, from which I do not think there are many omissions. "When the last census was taken no European was allowed to visit Kawhia, hence the estimate of many of the tribes much exceeded their actual numbers, particularly in the case of Ngatiinaniapoto, who were returned as 1,290 strong; whereas there are really only 17(3, plus about 20 for omissions at

5

G.—2.

Marokopa and Mokau, residing in the Kawhia District. The difference in the number of Ngatipuhiawe arises from a portion of that tribe now residing on the Wai pa, near Alexandra, who are now returned under the head of Ngatihikario, their general name. In the case of Tainui they are shown separately— viz., those at Aotea, and those residing here; on the last occasion they were returned together. Eegarding half-castes, who are included in the above numbers, I may say the Ngatihikario possess seven—four males and throe females ; the Patupo, seven females; the Ngatihaua, one female. This tribe also have a European lad who has lived with them since his infancy. He cannot speak English, and is about fourteen years old. The South Kawhia, Waikato, and Ngatimaniapoto possess fifteen males and eighteen females. There is also one Albino native woman at To Takaroa, who comes from Taranaki. This return includes no Natives on the northern shores of the Whaingaroa Harbour, except the few Tainui who sometimes resides there. The Ngatitahinga tribe, who live along the coast to Port Waikato, will be returned by Mr. Marshall. Out of the total number 1,321,1 calculate 820 as Kingites and 501 as " friendlies." There is not the slightest doubt that the Maori is slowly decreasing in numbers ; the average in this district for the last five years has been about ten deaths to eight births, and this without ny extraordinary epidemic. Eesident Magistrate's Office, Englan, 22nd May, 1878. R. S. Bush.

No. 11. Mr. E. W. Pitckey, Native Agent, Thames, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sir,— Thames, 27th June, 1878. I have the honor to enclose herewith census of the Native population of Hauraki District. I have taken great care to obtain the most accurate and reliable information. I have, &c, Tiie Under Secretary, Native Department, E. W. Puckey, Wellington. Native Agent.

No. 12. Mr. H. W. Brabant, R.M., Tauranga, to the Undee Secretary, Native Department. Sir,— Native Office, Tauranga, Bth May, 1878. In response to your circular of 17th January last, I have the honor to forward herewith the Native census of the Tauranga and Maketu Districts, which I have had prepared with the greatest care. You will observe a considerable decrease since last census. The total of Tauranga District being 1,056, instead of 1,245 ; and Makotu 2,219, instead of 2,955. I have to observe, however, with regard to the Maketu figures, that in the census of 1874 about 400 Natives were included who more properly belonged to the Opotiki District, as being resident within the gazetted boundary. I have on this occasion endeavoured to adhere strictly to the proper boundary of the district (see Neio Zealand Gazette of 21st December, 1807, No. 69), and I have sent a copy of this return to Captain Preece, in order that no mistake may be made. I have, &c, H. T. Clarke, Esq., Under Secretary, Herbert W. Brabant, Native Department, Wellington. Native Officer.

No. 13. Captain Preece, R.M., Opotiki, to the Undee Secretaey, Native Department. Sin,— Resident Magistrate's Office, Opotiki, 10th April, 1878. In accordance with the instructions contained in your circular of the 17th of January last, I have the honor to forward herewith a census return of the Natives in the Opotiki District. The number of Natives from Cape Runaway to Howai,as shown by Mr. Brabant's return of 1874, was 95 males under fifteen years of age, 220 males over fifteen years of age, 75 females under fifteen years of age, and 201 females over fifteen years. My return shows an increase of 12 males under fifteen years, a decrease of 8 adult males, a decrease of L female under fifteen years and 18 adult females, leaving a decrease of 15 on the total of last return. The Ngaitai show a decrease of 12 adult males and 21 adult females, and an increase of 11 male and 2 female children, leaving a total decrease of 20. This tribe suffered severely from typhoid fever in May of 187(3. The Whakatohea tribe, including the Upokorehe residing tit Ohiwa, shows an increase of 3 males under fifteen years, and a decrease of 23 adult males, 10 adult females, and 2 female children, leaving a total decrease of 35 : this tribe also suffered from typhoid fever in 1876. At Whakatane I find an increase of -10 ; but I think this is to be accounted for by the fact that a number of the Natives were away at the Thames when the last census was taken. I also make the Urewera 94 in excess of the last return. I account for this by one hapu having been omitted from the said return. Although there have been a number of deaths during the last four years, I do not think there is any actual -decrease in numbers ; the births having outnumbered the deaths. I enclose a return showing the difference between the last return and the one now furnished. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, George D. Preece, "Wellington. Resident Magistrate.

No. 14. Dr. Oemoxd, R.M., Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, to the Undee Seceetaby, Native Department. Sic,— Eesident Magistrate's Office, Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, sth July, 1878. I have the honor to forward herewith a return of all the Natives in the County of Wairoa. I may add that I could not obtain the slightest assistance from either the up-river chiefs, or those living at the Mahia end of the county ; I have, therefore, had to rely in a great measure on information furnished by the Assessors. 1 have, &c, Feedk. I\ Osmond, The Under Secretary, Native Office, Wellington. Eesident Magistrate.

No. 15. Mr. S. Locke, E.M., Napier, to the Undee Seceetaet, Native Department. Sic,— Napier, 31st May, 1878. I have the honor to forward herewith the Maori census rolls for this portion of my district, including Taupo. Dr. Ormond will supply the return for Wairoa, and Captain Porter for Cook County. I would remark that determined opposition was shown in this neighbourhood, while collecting these returns, to render any information on the subject. With reference to the circular of September 25th last, and circular No. 12, of May 28th, on the subjects of keeping tribal register, and register of births and deaths and marriages, I would beg to suggest that a printed circular be forwarded to the Natives informing them that such arrangements have been made, and that it would be to their interest to assist in carrying them out; also informing them of the advisability of registering their marriages according to law; and, further, that districts for carrying out these matters be carefully defined. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Wellington. 8. Locke.

No. 16. Captain Pobtee, Gisborne, to the Undeb Secbetaet, Native Department. Sic,— Native Office, Gisborne, 30th May, 1878. In accordance with the instructions contained in your circular of the 17th January, 1878,1 have now the honor to furnish a census of the Maori population within the East Coast District, comprising Cook County, the boundaries of which are nearly identical with Native tribal boundaries. In compiling the census, I have taken every precaution to render it reliable, in which I have been greatly assisted by Mr. J. T. Large, Native Assessors, and chiefs of hapus. I feel assured this is the most authentic return possible to be made, as I have had the name of each member of each sub-tribe distinctly written and also entered in the tribal register. The census shows a total of 4,4GG, which, compared with the return taken by mo in December, 1874, the total of which was 5,750, shows a decrease in four years of 1,254. Ido not, however, attribute this difference to death-rate alone, but to an error in compilation of the first return, wherein a number of reduplications of names occurred in the different hapus. The death-rate among children has been heavy, and. shows a decrease. Taking into consideration that no really authentic census has previously been made, I should not be justified in stating whether the race is increasing or decreasing ; but this comparison can be better made in a few years by carefully keeping the register posted up, to do which it will be necessary to use the Native Assessors to make quarterly returns of births and deaths in their several districts, for which purpose they should be furnished with small books of register. The established system of registration, as used among Europeans, would be exceedingly difficult and expensive to institute among Natives, and some simple system in accord with their own customs should be provided to enable the proper registration of births and deaths. The general health of the Native's is good; the principal causes of death being from bronchial affections, consumption, and natural decay. I have, &c, T. W. POETEE, The Under Secretary, Native Office, Captain and Adjutant Commanding East Wellington. Coast District.

No. 17. Mr. W. Butlee to the Undee Seceetaet, Native Department. Sic,— Greytown, Wairarapa, 24th July, 1878. I have the honor to forward a return of the Maori population of this district, in accordance with instructions contained in your circular letter. I may add that this return was compiled from information carefully collected, and may be accepted as being as nearly correct as it is possible to estimate a Maori population. I found on visiting the several settlements that the Maoris generally were in good health, prosperous, and contented. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department Wellington. William Butlee.

No. 18. Mr. C. Brown, C.C., New Plymouth, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sir,— New Plymouth, 6th June, 1878. In obedience to instructions contained in your letter of the 17th* January last, I have now the honor to forward herewith a census of the Natives in my district, from Mokau to Waitotara, which shows the population to be : Males over fifteen, 1,335 ; females over fifteen, 1,147 ; males under fifteen, 502 ; females under fifteen, 456: total, 3,440. No epidemic has seized the Natives of this district since last census, but consumption in different forms continues to be their deadly enemy. According to the present census, the population has apparently increased; but, from my knowledge of the steady decrease in numbers since my accession to office, I believe the last census, taken in 1874, was understated, from the then difficulty of getting at reliable information as to the Natives resident at Parihaka, Ngatimaru, and similar places. The present return is as nearly correct as the habits of the Natives will allow of. The disparity of the sexes and paucity of children (especially female), as compared with adults, are the most striking features. I have, &c, Charles Brown, The Native Under Secretary, Wellington. Civil Commissioner.

No. 19. Mr. James Booth, District Officer, Wanganui, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Slß,— Wanganui, Ist May, 1878. I have the honor herewith to forward the census return of the Native population of my district —viz., from Porirua to the left bank of the Waitotara Eiver, and inland to Murimotu and Patea. I am unable to compare the last census with this, as my district at the taking of the last census was very much smaller than it now is. I have, &c, James Booth, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Wellington. District Officer.

- No. 20. Mr. E. "W. Woon, E.M., Wanganui, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sir,— Native Office, Wanganui, 26th April, 1878. I have the honor, in compliance with your request as contained in circular letter of 17th January last, to forward my return of the Upper Wanganui Eiver Native population, as taken by me on or about the Ist of March, 1878. The return is as correct as I could make it, and has cost me much time and labour. lam unable to report any increase or decrease since taking of last census in March, 1874, owing to this census being more correct, and the migratory habits of the Natives residing at some of the pas, who are in the habit of coming and going to Waikato, Taranaki, and the South. The gross population is about 100 less than last census, but it cannot be taken as a criterion, owing to aforesaid causes. I am not aware of any prevailing disease or epidemic. Owing to the system of registration now adopted, the census returns will become more and more reliable in the future. I have, &c, BICHARD W. WOON, H. T. Clarke, Esq., Under Secretary, Wellington. Eesident Magistrate.

No. 21. Bey. J. W. Stack, Christchurch, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. Sir,— Christchurch, 28th June, 1878. I have the honor to forward the enclosed return of the Maori and half-caste population in my district. I should have sent it in earlier but for the senseless opposition offered by the elder Maoris, who in every place hindered my obtaining the desired information, and forced me to get it secretly from any one I could induce to give it. Tamati Tikao and his son, and the policeman, Mahuika, are the only persons who rendered cheerful assistance. Though the census has several times been taken before, they persist in thinking that the numbering of the people is in some way meant to injure them. It does seem absurd that in this island the Maoris should be at liberty to withhold information that Europeans are compelled to give. I have, &c, The Under Secretary, Native Department, Wellington. James W. Stack.

No. 22. Mr. Alexander Mackay, C.C., Nelson, to the Under Secretary, Native Department. SjE _ Native Eeserves Office, Nelson, 27th May, 1878. In compliance -with the instructions contained in your circular letter of the 17th January, I have the honor to forward herewith the result of the census taken of the Native population residing in the Provincial Districts of Nelson, Marlborough, and "Westland. The aggregate population of the above-mentioned districts at the present time number 692, in the

7

proportion of 399 males and 293 females. These numbers divided into adults and non-adults give the following results, viz.: Adults, 470; and non-adults, 222 : in the proportion of —Adult males, 284; adult females, 186 ; male children, 115 ; female children, 107. A considerable diminution has taken place in the numbers of the Natives in the aforesaid districts since the census of June, 1874, at which date they numbered BU7. Their decrease to the present number has resulted from two causes —viz., a high rate of mortality in comparison with the number of births, and the departure of a large number for the North Island and other places. The decrease by this cause alone during the last four years amounts to 116, and by deaths to 135 ; whilo there were only 02 births during the same period to counteract the deficiency by the above causes. The mortality alluded to has been confined almost entirely to the adult population, only eight deaths out of the whole number being children. A large proportion of the deaths are the results of old age, twelve were caused by a typo of low fever that attacked the residents of the Pelorus and-Queen Charlotte Sound during the summer of 1875, and two deaths were caused by suicide, and two by drowning. With the exception of the epidemic alluded to above, and a few cases of a similar nature that have occurred amongst the Natives in Motueka and Nelson, the prevailing sickness has been of a bronchial nature, but the deaths that resulted therefrom have not been numerous; the decay, therefore, that has taken place is mainly attributable to natural causes. I annex a Table (B) of the deaths that have taken place since June, 1874, by which it will be seen that the highest mortality has been amongst the adult males. Table C exhibits the numbers of the Native population in tho aforesaid districts in 1874, as compared with the population of the same districts in 1878. Reference to this table will show that the deaths in most of the districts double the births, and in one instance quadruples them. The only district that shows an increase of births over deaths to an appreciable extent is Queen Charlotte Sound; the cause of this is no doubt attributable to the largo admixture of European blood amongst the parents. I suggested in my report of May 17, 1876, the advisability of introducing a system of registration amongst the Natives to facilitate the compilation of a correct census of the population, besides offering a means of determining whether the race is declining in numbers or otherwise. Such system would also be of considerable value for the purpose of determining the age and relationship of individuals, in cases where the proprietorship of land is in dispute. The mode suggested by me for adoption was the same that prevailed in England before the introduction of " The Ecgistration Act, 1836;" but, in place of the minister of the parish, the Native Assessors should be required to register births and deaths free of charge, and furnish periodical returns to the European officials. This mode, although an imperfect one, would, if adopted, be a step towards securing a better system than exists at j^resent. I have endeavoured since the census of 1874 to keep a registry of the kind alluded to, and the information obtained in this way has afforded a means of ascertaining the rate at which the Native population comprised in the present census are increasing or decreasing, by comparison with their numbers in previous years ; and, although the period of time is short, the information on which the foregoing calculations are based is of sufficient value to afford certain evidence that the numbers of the people are diminishing rapidly. The continuous decrease of numbers is further evidenced by Table D (annexed), showing the rate of two decades from 1858. At that date the population of the districts under review numbered 1,214, in the proportion of 735 males and 479 females ; the difference, therefore, between the numbers at that date and now represents a decrease equal to 45 per cent, during the two decennary periods under consideration. It should, however, be borne in mind that fully 20 per cent, of the decrease is attributable to immigration. Another point that is exemplified by the above-mentioned table is the paucity of females. This fact, combined with the inadequate number of births that occur to counteract the high rate of mortality that prevails, readily accounts for the decline in numbers. Apart from this, however, it is difficult to account for the causes that produce this condition of affairs. The decay of the race has been attributed to the want of fecundity in the females ; but there would seem also to be a deficiency of vigour in the reproductive power of the males, as sexual unions between the females and Europeans are usually prolific, but unions with males of their own race arc rarely so. The prudential checks to population which operate in many parts of tho world exercise no retarding influence with the Natives, as they usually possess an abundance of good land with every facility for obtaining the necessaries of life, to which is added the advantage of dwelling in a climate of greater salubrity than is enjoyed in most parts of the world ; but, notwithstanding all these advantages, that tend to keep a population in a normal condition, the Maori is gradually passing away. The main causes, apart from other reasons that may be advanced for the decline of the Native race, are their low social habits, the want of fecundity of the females, the inequality of the sexes in a directly inverse order to that obtaining amongst the population of other countries in a healthy condition, and the great paucity of births, together with a high rate of mortality. All these influences tend to show that, so long as so many and such powerful causes adverse to the increase of population exist, any result except decrease is impossible.

No. 23. Mr. Alexander Mackay, CO., to the Under Seceetaut, Native Department. Sib,— Wellington, 26th September, 1878. I have the honor to enclose herewith the census of the Native population residing in Otago, inclusive of Euapuke and Stewart Island.

The return from some of the districts have only recently come to hand, in consequence of the boisterous weather experienced of late in the neighbourhood of Foveaux Strait, hence the cause of the delay in furnishing the information ere this. The total population of the aforesaid districts computes 934, and consists of 519 males and 415 females. The present census shows an increase of 431 over the one taken in 1874; but that is attributable in a great measure to a large number of half-castes having taken up their abode at the Native settlements. The number of births during the past four years amount to 13G, and the deaths to 124. The purely Maori population at the several settlements number 476, and the half-castes 458; besides the latter, there are 302 half-castes residing among the Europeans ; these added to the former numbers make a total Native population in the South of 1,286, nearly two-thirds of which are half-castes. The total Native population in the South Island, inclusive of Stewart Island and Buapuke, number 2,567, in the proportion of 1,412 males and 1,155 females. I annex the following tables on the subject, viz.: — A. —Census of the Native population in Otago, Ruapuke, and Stewart Island. B. —Census of the Native population in the South and Stewart Island. C. —Census of the Native population in the South and Stewart Island, inclusive of half-castes. D. —Return showing the births and deaths at the several Native settlements in Otago since 1874; also the number of half-castes residing at each place.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of February 5, 1878, referring to a circular sent from your office in January last, which circular I have not yet received.
