COUNTY OF BANFF.

SECOND OR KEITH DISTRICT.

Report by the District Medical Officer,
For 1891.

Population at the Census of 1891, -- 14,716
Population estimated to middle of 1891, -- 14,714
Approximate Area in Acres, -- 277,000
Approximate Density of Population, .053 Persons per Acre.

Extent. - The District is divided into thirteen Parishes or
Registration Districts. Two Police Burghs are situated within
the District, with populations at last Census of 4622 and 1469
respectively. The exact areas embraced by these Burghs I have
failed to ascertain. The recent decisions of the Boundary Com-
missioners have added to the extent of several of the Parishes.
The total area of the District, including the Burghs, is now
278,049 acres.

Population. - The Census of last spring shows that in six of
the Parishes the population has increased, and that in seven it
has decreased, during the last ten years. On the whole, the
population may be considered as about stationary - the decrease
in the highland and out-lying parts being compensated for by
the increase in the lower portion.

1. - General Sanitary State.

In forming an opinion regarding the Sanitary State of any
District many different points have to be taken into consideration.
