For a long time oast the northern city has uccupied a very inferior position among the chief cities of the colony so far as nominal popula i n owing to the faot that only a ut •inp.nu ivoly small area ttiis officially iiiL-lmletl within the city boundaries proper, the rest being subdivided into various small.quasi suburban municipalities. Consequently,-the Auckland population has appeared in the Registtar-Genornrs table some 15.000, against Duneiiin's 25,000 and: Wellington 21,000.' Cliristcburch is similarly placed through the'exclusion of Sydenham with its 9000 of population, and alao seems to have only about 15,000 inhabitants.

The population of these suburbs was estimated at 9419 perjons at the beginning of the year, which, added to the population of the old borough, gives the- number stated in tho return, 26,643 persons. . -. •
