The nationality given on the census papers cannot be relied upon as even approximately accurate. Many of those of mixed blood are uncertain as to the nationality of their European progenitor, and either left the question as to nationality unanswered or used phrases such as " Under British (or New Zealand) protection," " Protected Samoans," &c. Where a definite nationality has been given it must in many cases be taken as a claim rather than as a statement of fact. TABLE SHOWING NATIONS OF WHICH EUROPEAN INHABITANTS ARE SUBJECTS.
