The principal additions to the Tables in the present Number (the 42nd) of this Colonial Abstract are as follows: 78-83 Immigration and Emigration Statistics. Trade Returns of the Australian Commonwealth. [The Australian Trade Returns were compiled, for the first time, by the Federal Government in 1903 for Australia as a whole with places outside the Commonwealth, instead of by each Australian State, as in prior years. In consequence of this change, the detailed Trade figures are now given for the Australian Commonwealth only (excluding Inter-State Trade) and not for each State, as in former issues of this Abstract. For the sake of continuity of the State Returns, however, a supplementary Table has been inserted (see pp. 156-7) summarising the Trade of each State of the Commonwealth for 1904, in continuation of previous years.] Savings Bank Statistics: Orange River Colony and Postal Statistics : Revenue and Expenditure; also British North Borneo: Quantity and Value of Principal British Central Africa Protectorate: Railway Statistics.
