Abstract
WE have received a copy of the “Annuaire Statistique” of France for 1934. This large volume contains a wide range of statistics on every branch of French life. The first part gives the annual tables for 1932,1933 and in some cases 1934, of territory, vital statistics, education, health, production, transport, trade, finance and many other aspects. The second part, conveniently distinguished by a different colour of paper, gives comparative statistics for thirty or forty years and in some tables for more than a century. The last section gives figures of area, population, production, trade, etc., of the chief States of the world for the last fifty years. This section is particularly useful. Another official French publication received is the volume entitled “Statistique de Mouvement de la Population”, 12, 1932, “Les causes de deces” which gives for the year under review the causes of death grouped under forty-three headings for every department and large town in France.
