Because of the impossibility of allocating to the different states of the United States the non-immigrant arrivals and non-emigrant departures, the following table, covering the regular immigration report years 1910 to 1919, shows the excess of immigrants remaining permanently in continental United States. The total shown is 36,989, of which 23,708, or 64.1 per cent, falls to California.

(Observe that the dates of the periods given in the foregoing table and the following table do not coincide exactly.)
