The parts that engage in manufacturing. On the basis of manu- 
facturing, the countries of Europe may be divided into three groups 
(Fig. 162) : 
(a) Those having areas where more than 15 per cent of all the people 
are engaged in manufacturing (the heaviest shading). 
(b) Other countries where at least five per cent of the population 
are engaged in manufacturing. 
‘c) Countries that have very little manufacturing throughout most 
of their area.

clusions as to the relation between manufacturing and density of popula- 
tion.
