1 In proportion to the area from which the inner waters are excluded. 2 In proportion to the total area.

The proportion of women in the population varies, in the Russian pro- vinces, from 133-8 per each 100 men (Yaroslavl) to 87-4 (St. Petersburg) — this disproportion being due to the male population temporarily moving to the capitals or to the shipbuilding centres during the winter. The average proportions of women to 100 men are: Russian Provinces, 102 "9 ; Poland, 98-6; Caucasus, 88-9; Siberia, 937; The Steppes, 89-4; Turkestan and Transcaspian, 83*0 ; Russian Empire (exclusive of Finland), 99*9.
