Population.
The population is 344,913, or over 60,000 more than the North Island (Maori population being excluded). I may here remark that in point of population New Zealand stands third of the Australasian group of colonies, New South Wales and Victoria standing first and second with 1,134,000 and 1,140,000 respectively.
