mom :u “aha, Germany, issues at Lmervais a volume of statistics err- titled “Die Bevolkerumg der Erde,” m whxch the most recent informtmn as. to the population on the World is summarized. The most" paxnstakms methods are employed to reach sauer- factory conclusions as to regions where no exact data can be obtained. All sources of tnformation are crin- cally examined and the grounds upon which esummes are based are clearly set forth. There is probably no other publication dealing with population winch is so widely accepted as autho- etlve. The tenth volume is about to appear and the installment relatmg to Europe, prepared by Prof. Dr. A. Supan, has been published. Most 01 the information it contains is based upon ceneuses made in 1895-98, though a part depends upon the enumerattons 01 1890-94. Dr. Supp.) reaches the ooncluswn. that the present popular tum of Europe, in round numbers, .18 881,000,000. According to “Die Bevolkâ€" erumg der Erde” for 1870, the popula- t1â€"on at that time was 302,000,000, and the increase in thirty years has been I09,000,000 or an annual average of over 2,633,000. Le Mouvement Geographique of; Bruweis has recently published averyi interesting paper by M Lancaster,; 1 director or the Belgian Meterological. Service, on some of the earlier compu- tations of the poyulation of Europe. The first attempt to reach an approxi. mate conclusion was in 1787, when the celebrated Germ: n geographer Base- ing est: mated the population of Europe; at 150,0 001.0 This estimate, very l ke- ly, was far from accurate but it; is accepted as the best approximation attainable at that time. If we com- pare it with: the present figures an increase of population of more than 2,000,500 a year for over a century is indicated. In 1830 the French geo- grapher and statistician BalLi gave the population of Europe as 286,33,- (100, but this estimate proved later to beexcessive. The first man able to base his work largely upon official censuses or the. investigation of care- ful writers was the famous German Statistician Dieterici, who, in 18.35, computed the total population to be 27z,wo,ooo. From the satisfactory re- sults he obtained it is evident that the augmentation in the number of inhabitants in the past. {Guy-five. you {‘8 has been over 12.30,UUO,‘JUU. The result. of, Dr. Sumn's compmao (ions shows a mean density of powder- tion for the continent oi 39 to. the; square kilometre. The mean density‘ in the United Snares. according to the census of 1890, was 7 L0 the square kilometre.
