The above table shows an average density of population of GG per square mile, or considerably less than that of European Turkey. Previous to the year 1864, there were only 58 inhabitants to the square mile, but the annexation of the Ionian Islands, with a dense population — 226 per square mile — served to raise the figure, con- tributing far more to the population than to the area of the kingdom.
The census.- of 1861 exhibited the existence, both in Greeoe and in the Ionian Islands, of a considerably larger male than female population, the former outnumbering the latter by 54,035 in- dividuals.

4.27 per cent, persons of independent means ; 13-87 ,, „ tradesmen and shopkeepers ;
