MEXICO AND ITS RECONSTRUCTION
ESTIMATED RACIAL DIVISIONS IN MEXICO AT VARIOUS PERIODS[1]
- ↑ Estimated racial divisions in Mexico at various periods 1. Figures quoted in Poinsett, op. cit., from report to the king, 1703. 2. Quoted from Karl Von Sapper, Wirtschaftsgeographie von Mexico, 1908. His figures are based on Humboldt. 3. Including European and native born whites. 4. Carlos Butterfield, op. cit., p. 58, "quoting the best authenticated returns" but evidently of an earlier year than 1861. 5. Antonio Garcia Cubas and George Henderson, op. cit., The estimates of proportion of races upon which these entries are based were partly from incomplete returns from the state governments and from other estimates, especially those of the German scholar E. Sartorius. 6. Erich Gunther, Handbuch von Mexico, Leipzig, 1912, p. 65. His statement is: About one-ninth, over one-half, and about three-ninths fall in different classes. The total above inserted is that of the census of 1910. The wide variations that appear in the figures reported for various years show that only general conclusions can be based upon them. For a more detailed review based on individual estimates and government statistics see Wallace Thompson, op. cit., pp. 35-55
