The analysis of the 1931-39 period is further extended in Table C to show the movement of the component elements by calendar years. Though, as already remarked, the total growth of population in the period since 1931 has been on a scale roughly commensurate with that of the ten years prior to 1931, Table B shows that the composition of the later increase is of a far less satisfactory character. Both of the components representing the natural elements of birth and death have moved in an unfavourable direction—seriously so in the case of birth; and but for the compensation of an apparently adventi- tious change of considerable magnitude in the direction of migration, the population position might have legitimately. given rise to even greater public concern than it has already done. \
