    DIAGRAMS. The following pages contain two sets of “ graphs,’ one relating to migrations at several ages, and the other to mortality at successive per iods of life, or rather, to the losses per cent, experienced by the several successive generations in either of the decennial periods 1881-1890 and 1891-1900. Also, a single diagram of another sort. Migrations.—These diagrams will be found on pages ix.-xvi. They represent the rates per cent, of gain or loss at ages 15-20 to 50-55 of either sex in each decennial period. The main point is to note the resemblance of the two graphs representing successive decennial periods. Mortality.—These diagrams comprise:— First, two on page xvii., showing the index numbers at several ages of the national death-losses of either sex in the two decenniums. Second, a series on pages xviii.-xxv., showing the index numbers at several ages of the death-losses of several aggregates of districts as classed under ten heads and the rural residues under three heads, leaving the remaining rural aggregates unrepresented by graphs, as well as the four Military towns and the Residential districts containing lunatic asylums. Third, a series on pages xxvi.-lix., showing the index numbers at several ages of the death-losses of certain selected places, including at the end a few samples of rural residues of County groups. There are besides, on pages lx.-lxiii., similar graphs in relation to the re-calculated death-losses of certain places shown in Appendix G. And finally, on page lxiv., a diagram relative to the Table in Appendix A, page 131, which serves to exhibit the agreement or discordance of the progressive ratios of shrinkage of population of either sex in a succession of quinquennial periods, at the dates of the last three Censuses. 1?
