This publication is intended to provide those statistical series which are most commonly used. Because of the quantity only a small number of tables from the censuses have been included. In order to keep the publication to a reasonable size monthly and subprovincial data are not included. Where these are available they are noted at the bottom of the table. This publication is arranged into 24 sections. At the beginning of each section there are notes and explanations. As well a keyword index, relating to the tables, is included in the back. Each table has the source at the bottom. In the "Additional Data" notes at the bottom of each table it indicates whether the series is available; on a more frequent basis, (such as monthly or quarterly), for a smaller geographic area, or in more detail. Any questions on the additional data should be directed to Newfoundland Statistics Agency, Phone: 737-2913, since the source may not be the same as for the table. This Volume contains all of the information which was available in Volume II (2)• LIST OF TABLES
