POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1870.
[From the Official Returns of the Ninth Census.]

NOTE.-The above figures of population vary from other tables given in the Census of 1870 by including in the aggregate the population of Alaska (estimated), and the Indian population (partly estimated and partly enumerated). No provision is made by law for taking the census of Indians not taxed, and the Superintendent of the Census therefore caused careful estimates to be made throughout the Indian agencies, and the result has been added to the enumerated population. This increases the aggregate population of the United States in 1870 from 38,558,371 (as in most of the tables) to 38,925,598.
