Table 69 is a summary of tables 67 and 68. It gives an index of the total amount of 
assimilation by intermarriage of the Continental European stocks with the basic stocks of 
ths country, by geographical and linguistic groups. Combing the two tables does not 
alter the order found to obtain in Table 67 showing the amount of intermarriage with the 
British stocks alone, and the remarks made in connection with that table apply with equal 
force to Table 69. 
While both tables! agree in showing a great amount of intermarriage on the part of 
those of North Western Buropean origin with the French and British, there are significant 
differences in the behaviour of the linguistic groups. The relative amount of intermarriage 
for the males of the Scandinavian, Germanic and Latin and Greek origins follows the 
reverse order in the two tables. That is to say, those who marry least with the British, 
marry to the greatest extent with the Yrench, and vice versa. To be specific, the men of 
Scandinavian extraction have intermarried with the British proportionately more than have 
those of Germanic origin, and they in turn more than the Latins and Greeks. On the other 
hand, the Latin and Greek males have intermarried to a greater extent with the French 
than have those of Germanic extraction, and the Germanic more than the Scandinavian. It 
would thus appear that the men of Scandinavian and Germanic origin are relatively more 
easily assimilable by marriage with the British than are the Latin and Greeks, while the 
Latin and Greeks more readily assimilate with the French. In this connection it may be 
pointed out that the data on intermarriage are based on experience outside Quebec, so that 
the smallness of the numbers of Scandinavians and Germans in that vprovinee does not 
invalidate the above conclusion. 
L That is. Tables 67 and 68.
