Bureau of Immigration, for the years subsequent to 1910. bSee footnotes to Table 4 for countries included under “Old” and “New.” .,°In computing moving averages for these years, the average immigration in 1911 to 1914 was subs- tituted for the actual immigration in 1915, 1916, and 1917, respectively and extent of change appear in these two immigration series. Thus, in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, the “old” immigration declined while the “new” rose. In 1911 the “old” rose slightly, the “new” fell. In 1913, the “new” rose much more rapidly than the “old,” and continued to rise in 1914 while the “old” declined.
