PREFACE. IN this, the fifth issue of the WESTERN AUSTRALIAN YEAR Book, advantage has been taken of the unavoidable delay which has occurred in its publication, and the fact that some of the most important of the Returns of the Census of April, 1891, have already been published, to embody in it the very latest information obtainable; consequently in several instances, the information given is as late as up to July, 1891. The matter also contained in former issues of this work has been considerably enlarged. Great care has been taken that the information shall be given as correctly as possible, yet still there may be some errors which may require correction; should there be any which may come under attention, information concerning them will be gladly received. MALCOLM A. C. FRASER, Registrar General's Office, Perth, August, 1891. 84755 |
