s Compiled from the U. S. Bureau of Immigration, Annual Report of the Commissioner General of Im- 
migration, Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1924, p. 122. 
bFor 1820 to 1867, these statistics pertain to ‘‘Aliens Arriving,” including that class of arrivals later 
designated as nonimmigrants. 
In these periods the available statistics cover other than twelve-month periods. In the fifteen months 
from October 1, 1831, to December 31, 1832, 60, 482 alien arrivals are recorded; in the nine months from 
January 1 to September 30, 1843, 52,496; in the three months from October 1 to December 31, 1850, 59,976; 
and in the six months from January 1 to June 30, 1857, 112,123. 
dFor the fiscal years 1868 to 1903, inclusive, these statistics are designated in the official publications as 
including ‘Immigrants Arriving;” for the years 1904 to 1906, inclusive, ‘‘Aliens Admitted; and from 1907 
to date, “Immigrant Aliens Admitted." However, it would appear from other data given in the reports of 
the Commissioner General of Immigration that in all years after 1867, the statistics given in the above 
table do not include nonimmigrants. ! 
¢The numbers of immigrants as compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Statistics for these years are: 1892,
