FOOTNOTES:
[1] The areas are reduced from the planimetrical calculations made at
Gotha and used by A. Supan in _Die Bevolkerung der Erde_ (1904). They
are corrected to cover all boundary changes to 1906.
[2] The census of 1890 is the last one of which complete returns are
published. That of 1900 was notoriously inaccurate in many instances.
[3] The census returns are for municipalities, and not for cities
proper. As a municipality covers a large extent of country, the
population given is larger than that of the urban parishes, and is
therefore not strictly correct according to European practice.
[4] The Brazilian official titles are given for the state capitals:
Belem for Para; Sao Luiz for Maranhao; Sao Salvador for Bahia; and
Recife for Pernambuco.
[5] The capital of Minas Geraes in 1890 was Ouro Preto; it has since
been transferred to Bello Horizonte, or Cidade de Minas, which has an
estimated population of 25,000.
[6] Since the naval revolt of 1893-1894 the name of the capital of
Santa Catharina has been changed from Desterro to Florianopolis in
honour of President Floriano Peixoto.
[7] The "bran" exported is from imported wheat and cannot be
considered a national product.
[8] The "old metals" consist of old iron, brass, &c., derived from
railway material, machinery, &c., all imported, and should not be
considered a Brazilian product.
The "sundry products" would probably be included in the four general
classes were the items given.
[9] Previous to 1907 these two departments were united in one under
the designation of "Industry, Communications and Public Works." The
division was decreed December 29, 1906.
