For the population under 15 years of age the propor- tion of males to females is fairly level, with the former having but a slight advantage. In the popula- tion between the ages of 20 and 45 this influence is strikingly shown, the aggregate for this period giv- ing 124 males to 100 females. At the age of 70 the ratio of males to ns. assumes again its normal and oparend exhibits a greater tenacity of life than do'the males In all Eastern cities the femalo population outnumbers the male in very nearly a correspondingly ratio to the extent that males prepon- derate over females in the Weat Montreal is the only Canadian city where numbers of males and females are in fairly true propor- tions.
