compares favorably with records in former decennial census periods. This gain was greater in the last ten years than in any other ten-year period since 1850, when the percentage of increase was 27.5. Of the sixty-one counties in New York gains were made by all except fifteen. The following showed losses as compared with the census of ten years ago: Allegany, 89; Chenango, 993; Delaware, 838; Greene, 1,264; Hamilton, 601; Lewis, 2,578; Madison, 1,256; Otsego, 1,723; St. Lawrence, 78; Schoharie, 2,999; Schuyler, 1,807; Seneca, 1,142; Tioga, 2,327; Tompkins, 183, and Yates, 1,670. In ten of the New York counties the gains over the census of ten years ago were less than one thousand. These counties are Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chemung, Clinton, Columbia, Livingston, Oswego, Putnam, Saratoga and Steuben, Of the 9,113,279 persons in the state, 4,766,883 are in New York City and 4.346,396 outside the city, making the city 420,487 the greater in population. In 1900 New York City contained 394 490 inhabitants less than the state, outside the city, the population of the city being 3,437,202, compared with 3,831,692 in the remainder of the state. State Census of 1905.-The population of the State on June 1, 1905, as shown by the enumeration taken on that date under the direction of the state authorities, was 8,066,672, compared with a population shown by the federal census of 1900 of 7,268,894 and one shown by the federal census of 1890 of 6,003,174, including Indians and other persons on Indian reservations. The increase in population between 1900 and 1905 was 797.778, or 11 per cent, against an increase from 1890 to 1900 of 1,265,720, or 21.1 per cent. The population of the State in 1910, 1905 and 1900, respectively, was distributed by counties as follows: The plan of distributing the population of public institutions, followed in the state numeration, is not observed in the United States Census, and the gains and losses due to this cause should be borne in mind in making comparisons between the state census figures for counties and those of the two federal censuses.
