6 Fifteenth Annual Report of the Regisfrcw-Geneml oj

The recorded natural increase· of population, or excess of births over deaths was 34,4S8, the loss by emigration, 41,124; there would thus appear to have been a decrease of 6,636, in the population during the year, but against a portion of this decrease there is a set-off in immigration of which no official record has been obtained. The estimated population in the middle of the year was. i>,351,060;

MAR.li:EAGES. The number of marriages registered during the year was 25,284i being 1 in every 212, or 4·73 per 1,000. of the estimated population. This rate i'l slightly over t.hnt for the preceding Yf!ar, but is less than the low rate yielded hy- the average annual number of marriages regiB~ tered during the ten years 1868~77, which was much U1\der the marriage-rates in other count:.rieri, the statistics of which are avaHable. As the subject is of considerable importance, I beg to repeat the obser vations respecting it whieh I submitted in my Report on the Registration for the year 1875 :- "There is no doubt that a pOJ~tion of this disparity [between the marriage-rate in Ireb,ud a.nd that in many other countries], is due to defective registration; but the loss to be set dow:n to this cause is not so great as might at first sight appear and the actual marriage-rate in Ireland, in proportion to the total population is, unquestionably, low. "This is, in part, accounted for by the abnormal conditions arising from a large annual emigration of unmarried persons of what may be called the marrying ages, The consequent re~uction of the sources from which the marriage ranks are recruited is accompanied by an undue increase in r,he proportion of the population embraced in the other age-periods, and the result tends to produce a low rate compared with the number of inhabitants at all ages. "Again, amongst the actual population, the marriage-rate is evidently low. Thus, from the last Census Reports it appears that, while · in England the per-centage of men aged 20 years and upwards who were unmarried was only 27·1, in Ireland the unmarried formed 38·3 per cent. of the total at the same ages. "But the returns now under notice in themselves contain proof of the comparative paucity of marriages in Irewnd. - "The provisions of the law respecting the registration of Protestant marriages are such that it is all but impossible any should remain unaccounted for; yet, compared, say, with the general marriage-rate for England, the result appears very unfavourable. Thus the average annual rate in England is 1 in eyery 11.9 persons, or 8·4 per 1,000 of the population, while the Protestant marriages in Ireland in 1875 only equal 1 in 168, or 5·97 per 1,000 of the estimated Protestant population. [In 1878 the rate was 5'87 per 1,000.] . . , "There are no grounds for assuming that marriages are propor tionately more numerous ~omong the Roman .Catholic t.han amvng the Protestant inhabitants; so that marriages of the latter, if, indeed, not much over th,e general rate, are certainly not under it, and the extent to which the registered Roman Catholic marriages fall .Rhort of the rate yielded ?Y marriages of Protestants is the maximum possible loss by non-registration. _ · "The Roman Catholic marriages registered in 1875 only afford a rate of 1 in 245, or 4·08 per l ,OOO of the estimated Roinan Catholic population, . ~-". "-.'; ,, ""~~,-, .·• ;!';.,.'-.,' ··- .. < 'I ._,..,._: ~ •·,, ' "' . ' ' ,; . ;_.' ..

Mcl/rriages, Births, and Deaths 'in Irelanil-1878. 7 which, as may be seen, is much under the rate for Protestant marriages. [In 1878 the rate was 4·37 per 1,000.J " There are no precise data for determining how far this Cfln be s:itis factorily accounted for; but, as the Roman Catholic inhabitants constitute the great majority bf the people, and include the large mass of the humbler classes, there seems but little doubt that the depression iii the marriage-rate, referred to above as resulting from emigration, would be most apparent amongst them, arid also that any economic reason leading to a low rate would be likely to affect them to ~t greater extent tl1an it would their Protestant fellow countrymen. · . "It is, however, to be feared that, after making all due allowances, the unregistered marriages, which, as may be gathered from what has been stated above, are confined to those of Roman Catholics, are still numerous. "There is no valid reason why they should be so. The trouble involved in complying with the law regarding the registration of Roman Catholic marriages is reduced to a minimum, while the individual and the national value of a perfect record is manifest, and ought to secure the willing co-operation of all concerned;" Of the 25,284 marriages registered during the year 1878, 17,898 were between Roman Catholics, 3;900 wera celebrated according to the rites and ceremonies of the late Established Church; 2,571 were in Presby terian Meeting-houses ; 390 in "Registered Buildings" belonging to various religious denominations; only 512 by civil contract in the Re gistrars' offices; 8 were according to the usages of the Society of Friends, and 5 according to the Jewish rite. The small number of marriages in the Registrars' offices (only 2 per cent. of the total) is in striking contrast to the proportion of civil marriages in many other countries.

There being no civil restrictions as to the time or place for celebrating marriages between Roman Catholics in ·Ireland, a registration of the churches and chapels of the Roman Catholic Church is not necessary for the purposes of this office; but with reference to other religious bodies, a. record is kept of the places of Divine worship in which marriages m:ay lawfully be solemnized without special licence, and from this it appears that, on the 31st December, 1878, there were 1,504 churches and chapels of the late Established Church, 590 registered Presbyterian Meeting houses, and 305 " Registered Buildings " belonging to various religious denominations. Compared-with the previous year, these numbers show an increase of 2 as regards the late Established Church, a decrease of 5 Presbyterian Meeting-houses, and an increase of 4 "Registered Buildings." The following statement shows the several religious bodies having " Registered Buildings " in 1878 :-

The marriages of bachelors and spinsters constitute 85·8 per cent. of • l the total; those of widowers and spinsters 8·6 per cent.; of bachelors and widows 3·1 per cent; and of widowers and widows 2·5 per cent. Thus, 11 in every 100 of the men married were widowers, and 6 per cent. of the' women were widows; and in 14 instances in every 100 marriages one or both of the contracting parties had been in the married state before. A complete registry of the exact ages of the persons married would_ be valuable from many points of view; hence it is matter for regret that in the great majority of instances the ages are not recorded. The .requirements of the law are technically complied with by the entry in the age column of" ininor" or "of full age," as the case may be, and there seems to be a general arid increasing inclination to take advahtage of this circumstance, as in 1878 the ages of both parties were specified in only 6,883 instances, being little more than one~fourth of the total number of marriages. In the year 1865, when :W,802 marriages were registered, the ages of both' · parties were given in 13,910 instances. Of 25,284 men married during the year, 671, or 2·65 per cent. were minors; and of the women married, 3,100, or 12·26 per cent. were under age. These proportions differ but slightly from the averages for the preceding ten years. • The highest proportion of husbands married under age in 1878, 3·24 · per cent., was in the North-Eastern Division, which includes Belfast and nearly all the northern manufacturing districts ; and the highest J>er; centage of wives, 18·11; was in the Western Division. These results coincide with those in the preceding ten years. ,. ~:, ' .. -

10 Fifteenth .A.nnuai Report of the .Registrar-Generat of It may be added, that the per-centage of persons married in Ireland who were under age is very far below the corresponding rates in England a.nd Scotland. The signatures of the contracting parties in the marriage registers or certi ficates afford a roiigh test of the progress of elementary education. In the year 1878, 18,070, or 71·5 per cent. of the husbands, and 16,775, or 66·3 per cent. of the wives, wrote their names, and the remainder signed by marks. These :figures, though still leaving much to be desired, contrast hopefully with the corresponding results twelve years since, the per-centage of persons married in 1867 who wrote their names being-men 62·7, and women 52·2. As usual, the most favourable results appear in the Eastern or Metro politan Division, and the least satisfactory in the Western and the North W estern Divisions, the number who wrote their names varying from 79 in ·every 100 men and 76 in every 100 women in the Eastern, to 62 per cent. of the men married in the Western, and 59 per cent. of the women manied in the North-Western division.

there W8·S no information afforded as to which of the foregoing methods was adopted. · · .· During the year 1878 there were issued by the Registrars 727 Licences for Marriage in Registered Buildings and in the Registrars' offices. The number of Marriage Licences issued by the licensing Ministers of the several Presbyterian bodies is given in the following summary:-

There being no civil restrictions as to the time or place for celebrating marriages between Roman Catholics in ·Ireland, a registration of the churches and chapels of the Roman Catholic Church is not necessary for the purposes of this office; but with reference to other religious bodies, a record is kept of the places of Divine worship in which marriages may lawfully be so1ernnized without special licence, and from this it appears that, on the 3lst December, 1878, there were 1,504 churches and chapels of the late EBtablished Church, 590 registered Presbyterian Meeting houses, and 305 " Registered Buildings" belonging to various religious denominations. Compared-with the previous year, these numbers show an increase of 2 as regards the late Established Church, a decrease of 5 Presbyterian Meeting-houses, and an increase of 4 "Registered Buildings." The following statement shows the several religious bodies having "Registered Buildings" in 1878 :-

ln the province ofLeinster, 76·1 per cent. of the men,and 74percent. of the women married wrote their names; in Munster, 71 ·4 per cent. of the men, and 66·0 per cent. of the women; in Ulster, 72 in every 100 men, and 63.in every 100 women; and in Connaught, only 62·0 per cent. of the men, and 59·6 per cent. of the women. · . .__,· In 5,078 instanees, both of the parties married signed the register by "mark," and in 5,567 cases the register was thus signed by either the husband or the wife, so that in l0,64!5 instances, or 42·1 per cent. of tll.e tota.l number of marriages, one or both of the parties signed by mark ; and in l-Y,G39 instances, or 57·9 per cent., both parties wrote· their names. In proportion to the estimated population at· all ages the registered mai'riages were most .numerous in the province of Leinster, in which, however, the rate was only 5·2 per 1,000 persons; Ulster comes next, with 4·9 per 1,000; Munster third, with 4·5 per 1,000; and Connaught last, the rate being 4·0 per 1,000. The highest rate in any county was 7·3 per l,000, which was the marriage rat·e for Dublin; and the lowest 3·5 per 1,000 for Queen's County. Between these, the most favourable were 5·9 for Antrjm, 5·3 in Armagh, 5·2 in Londonderry, and 5·0 in Kerry and Down; and the least so 3·G in Meath and Sligo and 3·7 in F~rmanagh and Monaghan.

B:l:RTHS. The number of births registered during the year 1878 is 134,117.....,.... 68,549 boys, and 65,568 girls, or 104·6 of the-former to every 100 of the latter--the rate afforded in proportion to the total population being 1. in 29·9, or 25·1 per 1,000, which is considerably under the low average rate (26·9 per 1,000) for the ten years, 1868-77, and less than the rate in any of those years. _ In my report for the year 1875, I glanced at the causes of the compara tively low birth-rate in Ireland, and the following observations, which I then made, are almost equally applicable to the year now under review:- · "It has been seen that the marriages registered 'in Ireland, when com pared with the total population, fall far short of the proportion in England. The births, too, present a contrast---not, indeed, so striking; but still sufficiently so to call for explanation; the average rate in England being )·:.\ 35·~L per 1,000 persons, again~t 26·9 per 1,000 in Ireland. "A large_ portion .of the disparity between the marriage rates .has been aci:ounted for, a,nd shown to be owing to the special circumstances of Ireland, and it is obvious, that, speaking in general terms, there must be a corresponding difference between the birth-rates. · "Pursuing the inquiry with special reference to births, and omitting, for -the present, those of children born out of wedlock, it is found that the average rate of legitimate births in England for the ten years 1865--<74 was 33·4 per 1,000 of the population, and that the corresponding rate in Ireland was only 26·1 per 1,000: · · · "The conclusion at first naturally suggested by these figures is that the registration of births in Ireland must be very defective; but, on examina~ tion this proves to be, in great part, erroneous, , . r:::- - :: -" .:,.. !

Mcir1·iages, Bfrths, ancl Deciths im lrelan<1-l.878.

" In 1871, according to the Census, the married women in England between the ages of15 and 55, which may be taken as the limits of the childbearing period, formed 14·7 per cent. of the total population at all ages, and in Ireland the corresponding proportion was only 11 ·8 per cent., or, in other words, there were five married women, possible mothers, in · England to 4 in an. equal number of the populn,tion in Ireland. Taking· the ages 15 to 45 years, the difference is even greater. " Assuming the actual births to be in the same ratio to the number of married women in each of the two countriffi;'"it is evident that the births in any given number of the total population in heland must be less than the corresponding rate in England to the extent that the proportion of married women. in the former country falls short of that for the latter. "'l'his being so, the respective rates for legitimate births, given above, nf:!,mely, 26·1per1,000 persons in Irefand, and 33·4 per 1,000 in England, are reconcileable, as they bear the same ratio to each other as the relative · proportion of married women in the population ; and, looking at the numbers. from another point, it is fou,.'ld th11t the births in England are annually equal to 224 to every 1,000 married women of the child-bearing ages, and that the registered births in Ireland, equal 223 per 1,000. " There is a popular opinion that the mothers of Ireland are more . " fruitful than those of England; but this, if true in the abstract, must, under present conditions, be to a certain extent neutralized by the comparatively late period of life at which many marriages in Ireland now take place." Of the 134,117 children whose births were registered in Ireland duri:og the year 1878, 131,022, or 97·7 per cent., were legitimate, and 3,095, or 2·3 per cent., were illegitimate. The average per-centage of illegitimate births in the·preceding 10 years was 2·6 . ., It is unneeessary to say that these results compare very favourably with the returns for most other countries. Of the children born in wedlock during the year, 66,973 were males, and 64,049 females, being 105 of the former to every 100 of the latter; and of the illegitimate children 1,576 were males, and 1,519 females, or 104• boys to 100 girls.

14 Fifteenth A nnucil Repo1·t of the ~egiBfrcw-General of As in previous years, the lowest per-centage of children born out of wedlock was in the Western Division, and the highest iu the North Eastern division. The order of the several divisions is as follows :-- Western 0·8 per cent. of total births; South-Western, l ·3; North Midland, l ·5; Eastern, l ·8 ; South Midland, 2·1 ; N orth-Westem, 2·3; South- Eastern, 2·6 ; and North-Eastern, 4·7. . Comparing the provinces, we find that the per-centage of children born in Ulster, who were illegitimate, was 3·9; in Leinster, 1·9; in Munster, l ·6 ; and in Connaught, 0·7. . The extremes of the county rates are found in Down and Mayo. In the former of 5,832 births registered, 344, or 5·9, per cent. were illegitimate, and. in the fatter, out of 6,548 births recorded, only 29, or 0·4 per cent., were so classed. The respective total birth-rates for the provinces in 1878 were Munster, 26·3 per 1,000 of the population; Connaught, 25·0; Leinster, 24·7 per 1,000 ; and Ulster, 24·4. · The four counties having the highest rates were--Kerry, 29:8 per 1,000 inhabitants; Antrim, 29·3; Dublin, 28·8; and Mayo, 26·9. Those with the lowest rates were-Wicklow, 20·8; Fermanagh, 21·8; Queen's, 21 ·9; and Tyrone, 22·0 per 1,000 persons. . . · Of the total births, 53·4 per cent. were registered in the first six ·nionths of the year (181 days), and 46:6 per cent. in the second half of the year (184 days). The number registered in the :(irst quarter was 35,041; in the second, 36,591; in the third, 32,209 ; and in the fourth, 30,276. r . ·:~

The d.eaths of males. number 50,116, and those of females 49,513, the former being equal to 19·3 in every 11000 males living, and the ·latter representing 18·0 per 1,000 females. Marriages, Bi1·ths, and Deathg in Irelo,nd~-:ts18. J5 The deaths a;e much over the average for the ten years 1868-77, and more numerous than in any year during that period. 'l'he mortality from zymotic diseases, although somewhat under the average for the ten years 1868-77, is in excess of t]1at in either 1876 or 1877; this is owing to the prevalence of measles in many of the .Southern· Districts of the country, a more than ordinary mortality from whooping cough, and the prevalence of small-pox in the Metropolis. Diseases of the Respiratory Organs were very prevalent, and the mortality from these causes was in excess of that in any of the preceding three years, in each of which deaths from diseases of this order were much over the average. The deaths from the eight principal zymotic diseases* registered during 1878 form 11 ·6 per cent. of the deaths from all causes, and are equal to 217 in every 100,000 persons living; the average annual mortality from the same diseases in the preceding 10 years represents 12·3 P.er cent. of the average number of deaths from all causes, and is equal to 212 deaths in every 100,000 of the estimated mean population. ·Sanitary improvements have been effected in many districts, and the Registrars thereof testify to the gratifying results which have ensued upon a judicious administration of the Public Health Act. It is, there fore, to be regretted that there are still many districts in which but little attention is devoted to this important subject. As the principal notes on the public health furnished by the various Registrars were published in the quarterly returns at a time when they should have proved most likely to secure an abatement of then existing evils, it is unnecessary to reproduce them ; but I regret to have to state that,. according to the Registrars' reports, some palpable defects were long left unremedied. · · · The death-rates in the eight divisions range from 14·7 per 1,000 persons in the Western to 22·9 · in the Eastern. The following is the order of the several divisions :-Western, 14·7 per 1,000 persons; North Western, 16·0; North ·Midland, 16·7; South Western, 18·6; North Eastern, 18·6 ; South Midland, 18·9 ; South Eastern, 22·7; and Eastern, 22·9. With respect to the four provinces, the rate for Connaught is only 15·1; that for Ulster is 17·6 ; for Munster, 19·1, and for Leinster, 21·8. . Of tbe thirty-two counties, the four having the lowest registered mortality are-Mayo, orily H·l per 1,000; Sligo, 14·6; Leitrim, 15·2; and Galway, 15·5. · Those in which the rate was highest are-Dublin, 27·7; Waterford, 24·8; Wexford, 23·2; and Kilkenny, 21·3. The deaths registered in the first half of the year always largely out number those in the second. In 1878 55 ·3 per cent. of the total deaths were registered in the six months, January to June inclusive, and only 44·7 per cent. in the remaining six months of the year. · The annual rates represented by the deaths registered in each quarter &re as follows :....:...First quarter, 21 ·l per 1,000 of the population; second, 20·1; third, 15·2; and fourth, 18'1. *,Small-pox, Measles, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Whooping cough, Fever, Diarrhooa, and Cholera.

I.-ZYMOTIC DISEASES. The deaths from Zymotic diseases registered during-the year 1878 amounted to 14,877, or 278·02 in every 100,000 of the estimated popula:. tion. This mortality, although somewhat under the average annual number for the ten years 1868-77, which was 15,333, is higher than the number in either of the last two yea~s of that period. Compared with the year 1877, there was a decrease in the North-Eastern Division, but an increase in all of the other Divisions, the most marked increase being in the South-Eastern Division. The respective rateFJ for the several Divisions are :--"Eastern, 414•46 deaths in every 100,000 of the estimated population; South-Eastern, 403·39; South Midland, 304·93; South-Western, 290·02; North-Eastern, 232·08; Western, 227·86; North Midland 214·53; and North-Western 158·27. Of the 14,877 deaths from zymotic diseases, 8,853 or 59·5 per cent. were amongst children under 10 years of age, being equal to a mortality of 7 ju every 1,000 children of that age.

In 1865 there was 1 death in every 19 registered which could not be classed, owing to the cause of death having been either ill defined or unspecified; in 1878 such deaths only equalled 1 in every 40.

AC.ES· Deaths of infants under 1 year old numbered 12,993, being equal to !)'7.per cent. of the number of births registered. Amongst children under 5 yen,rs of age 23,506 deaths occurred-a mor tality equal to 36·2 in every 1,000 of the living at that age. Of these, 12,404 were boys nnd 11,102 girlc;; the former number representing 37·7 in every 1,000 boys, and the latter 34·7 in every 1,000 girls under 5 yenrs old. The deaths of persons aged 65 years and upwards are equivalent to 10 per cent. of the liYing at that age. Amongst the deaths registered are 858 of persons stated to have been aged 95 years and upwards-397 males and 461 females.

ElY.U:GR.ATION. According to the Returns obtained by the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police, who acted as enumerators at the several Irish seaports, the number of emigrants who left Ireland during the year 1878 amounted to 41,124; of these, 20,916 were males and 20,208 females. Of the whole number, 7,371 were from Leinster; 12,833 from Munster; 16,240 from Ulster; and 4,680 from Connaught. Of the emigrants in 1878, 17·0 per cent. were ·under 15 years of age ; 68·5 per cent. werti between 15 and 35 years old; and 14·5'per cent. were 35 or upwards.

Surveying the period covered by the several Tables in this Report, i.e., 1878, and the ten years preceding, it is fou:r;id that beef' was lowest in the year 1868, when the average prices ranged from_ 5!s. to 65s. per cwt.; bread in 1869 and 1870, for each of which the avf)rage price of Messrs. Manders' 4lb. loaf was 6£d.; oatmeal in 1871, when the average price was 15s. ld. per cwt., and·potatoes in 1875, when the average range ofpriceswaR from 2s. lld. to 4s. 7d. per cwt.

From Returns, for which I am indebted to the Local Government Board, it appears that the average nu.mber of workhouse inmates in Ireland on Saturdays during the year 1878 was 48,406, being 3,518 over the average for the preceding year; and that the average number of persons receiving out-door relief was 35,796, or 2,631 over the cor responding number for 1877.

. THE WEATHER. The following particulars have been extracted from Returns of Meteorological Observations taken at the Ordnance Survey Office, Phcenix Park, Dublin, during the years 1868-78, furnished by direction of the Superintendent of the Ordnance Survey. . The meanheight of the barometer at 9.30 A.M. during the year 18~8 was 29·943 inches, against a.n average of 29·922 inches for the preceding ten years. The highest reading during the year (30·688) was on the 16th March at 9.30 P.M., air calm, and the lowest (28·919 inches) was on ,the 7th October at 9.30 P.M., wind E. · The mean temperature for the year was 49·3°; the highest registered was 79·4° on the 26th June and the 23rd July, and the lowest was 9·3° on the 24th December. The average mean temperature for the ten years 1868-77 was 49·5°.

Rain or snow fell on 217 days during the year, against an average of 197 days for the preceding ten years, the amount being 28·039 inches, or ·639 in. under the average annual rain-fall for the ten years 1868-77. The prevailing wind was W., it having blown from that point on 86 days at 9.30 A.M., with an average pressure of 4·24 lbs. per square foot. The wind blew from· S.W. on 84 days; from S.E. on 44 days; from N.W. on 36 days ; from S. on 32 days; from N.E. on 29 days; from E. on 20 days; from N. on 4 days, and the air was calm on 30 days, at 9.30 A.M• . 'l'he strongest wind (S.W.) was on the 6t.h March, the pressure being 10·50 lbs. per square foot. ·

In concluding these remarks, I beg to report that, briefly stated, the main results. shown by an analysis of the registration records for last year are as follow :-The marriage-rate, although it did not fall quite so low as in some recent years, was under the low average rate for the ten years 1868-77; the birth-rate also was below the average, being, in fact, lower than in any other year since 1864, when the births and deaths registration Act ea.me into operation; while the death-rate was above the highest rate. reached during that period-a result chiefly attributable to the general prevalence of acute diseases of ther espiratory organs, and an excessive mortality from measles. In the great majority of instances where there was medical attendance the cause of death was fully and precisely given, but the number of cases in which there appears to have been no medical attendant during the last illness is very remarkable. The periodical notes furnished by the Registrars show that there is a gradually extending interest manifested in sanitary matters ; still very much remains to be effected in that direction. Emigration, although slightly greater than in either of the two years immediately preceding, was far below the average.

I have already referred to deficiencies in registration as in part account ing for the low rates of marriages, births, and deaths in Ireland ; this deficiency is most marked in Roman Catholic marriages, many of which, I fear, remain unregistered. Any defects there are in the registration of deaths would he removed by a provision requiring notice of the death to be sent to the Registrar, previous to interment, and as regards births, I beg to repeat a suggestion which I submitted in my Report for the year 1875:-

" In the case of Births, many instances having been reported to this department in which births have not come to the knowledge of the Registrars until after the expiration of six months from .the date of birth, and consequently too late for registration, I consider that an extension of 30 Fifteenth Annual Report of the Registrcw-General, &c. the time for registration, would, under ::tll the circumstances, be advisable. With this change, and the aid to be derived from the effective working of the Compulsory Vaccination Act, the registration of births should approach very near to absolute completeness."

I have the honour to be Your Grace's faithful servanb, w. M. BURKE, F.C.P.I., Registmr-General.

!l'opograpMcal Description of Divisions. 33

Topographical Description of the Eight Divisions into which Ireland has been .":'' divided for Statistical purposes.

No. I., THE NORTH-EASTERN DIVISION.-This division niay be described by a line passing south~ ward from Lough Foyle thro1igh the counties of Londonderry, Tyrone, and Armagh, to Lough Bawn, in the county of Monaghan, and thence eastward to Carlingford Ioough; the north and east being on the seaboard. No. II., THE NoR'.!'H-WESTERN Drns10N, is bounded on the east by the division just described, from Lough Foyle to a point a little south of Six i\Iile Cross, in the county Qf Tyrone, and may be describe.~ by a line drawn thence s:w. tlirough the county of Fermanagh to the south of Enniskillen, embracing that portion of the north-west angle of the county of Cavan belonging to the Enniskillen Union, into the county of Leitrim, crossmg Lough Allen, thence into the county of Sligo, to a point situated to the southward of the town of Ballymote, and thence extending north to Ballysadare Bay; the remainder of the division is bounded by the sea. It contains Laughs Erne and Derg, and part of Lough Allen, and large portions of it ·are mountainous.

No. III., THE EASTERN DIVISION, is situated in the. provinces of Leinster and Ulster; it extends along the Irish Sea and St. George's Channel, from \Varrcnspoint, in the connty of Down, to the south of Cahore Point, in the county of \Yexford, stretching inland about twenty-five miles, and embracing the counties of Louth, Dublin, and \Vicklow, and portions of the counties of Carlow, Cavan, Kildare, Meath, and Wexford; tc:gether with small portions of the counties of Armagh ancl l\Ionaghan.

No. IV., THE NORTH MIDLAND DIVISION, is situated in the provinces of Leinster, Ulster, and Connaught, and extends southward from its junction with the "North-W cstern" division near Six 111ile Cross, in the county of Tyrone, to Tyrrellspass, in the county of Westmeath. Virginia, in the county of Cavan, is situated on its easte,rn border, and Tulsk, in the county of Roscommon, on its western. ·

No. V., THE SouTH MIDLAND DIVISH>N, situated in the provinces of Leinster and Munster, extends from the Hill of Down, in· the county of Meath, southward to Borris, in the county of Carlow. Its southern boundary may be described by a line drawn tlience to New Birmingham, in the county of Tipperary, and from that point south to Fethard, in the same county, thence westward to the northern ba8e of the Galty mountains, and .in a north-westerly direction, to Pallasgreen, ·in the county of Limerick. On the east it is bounded by the "Eastern" division, and on the west by the "Western" ancl the "South-\Vestem" di visions.

No. VI., THE vVESTERN DrvisION.-Thisdivision extends southwards from Sligo and Killala Bays to the northern bank of the Hiver Shannon, lying westward of Limerick; the extreme points, north :111d south, being Benwee Head, in the county of l\Iayo, and Loop Head, in the county of Clare,. a di-tance in or about 120 rnile8, which, however, does not represent the extent of seaboard, the western c<>nst being indented by numerous bays and inlets. This pivision has been cxtencled much more in!and tl•un the eastern division, as from its exposure to the Atlantic Ocean, and the prevalence· of. westerly wiuds (which blow for nearly three-fourths of the year), the climate must be affected for a consic'lerable distance inland·; the Unions situated on the extreme east are Boyle, Castlereagh, Glennamaddy, l\Iountbellew, !lallinasfoci and Portumna.

~o. VII., THE Soun1-EAsTERN DrvrsION.-This division extends from its junction with the " Eastern" dbi.sion, southward of Cahore Point, in the county of Wexford, along the eastern am! southern coasts to the east of Cork Harbour, and is boimded on the north by the "South Midlm1d" division. It embraces the county of Waterford, nearly the whole of the county of Wexford, parts of the counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, and Tipperary; that portion of the county o~ Limerick(38,550 acres) comprised in the Mitchelstown Union, and a portion of the eastern side of Cork county.

No. VIII., THE SouTH-WESTERN DIVISION, extends along the southern and western coasts from Cork Harbour to the River Shannon, and embraces the couuty of Kerry, nearly the whole of the counties of Cork and Limerick, and a small portion of the county of Clar1l1 comprised in the :Limerick Union,
