SEX COMPOSITION OF IMMIGRANT POPULATION 71 already in the country or are merely getting established before bringing their wives and families to the new land, the case is entirely different. With this consideration in mind attention is drawn to a few of the figures in Tables 32, 33 and 34. Of all immigrants, the Chinese have the largest surplus of males; the inas- similability of this stock has dictated legal expedients which have made this inevitable; but it does not alter the fact that immigration which consists of almost 30 times as many males ag females involves serious social risks. The Bulgarians, though few in number, had over seven times as many male as female immigrants in Canada in 1921; the Greeks showed a surplus of nearly 400 p.c. There were six other cases where over twice as many males as females have come to this country. The countries from which these immigrants come rank as follows:— Rank Country of Birth ¢ P.c. surplus of SE 10-BlAVIB. viii iia ADI cy wind procarvinans Spurs Ao GRATER fe MERTERS Hie SARA AS 3 WRRY. iva ave BATA, RATER 4h REAR OR SEAR 40 emmark......

Immigration from the United States, the British Isles, the British Possessions, France and Hungary all show an excess of males less than the average for all immigrants, In this group of countries settlers from the United States show the smallest surplus and settlers from Hungary the largest. It is curious to note that the Welsh, with 33 p.c. more male immigrants than females, differ so radically in sex distribution from the other stocks of British origin.
