The increase of population since that period must, therefore, be attributed to an increase of fruitfulness of the female sex; to the effect of immigration ; to a diminution of the rate of mortality; or to two or more of these causes combined. But as far as docu¬ mentary evidence goes, it does not appear that the number of births has increased in comparison with the number of bearing women; and it is clear that the increase of population cannot be attributed to immigration, otherwise the number of burials must have increased with the number of births, which is contrary to the fact, as established on indisputable evidence; the increase of popu¬ lation must, therefore, be entirely attributable to a diminution of the rate of mortality.’—Second Report, p. 38.
