I have inserted in the text, without quotation marks several short passages written by me and previously published.
Instead of "monkish," on page 39, the word should be "monastic;" and on page 55, "afternoon mass" should be "afternoon prayers."
STATISTICS.
The dividends paid by the mining companies incorporated in San Francisco bad in the sixteen years ending with 1877, amounted to $113,000,000, and the assessments to $65,000,000.
The aggregate value of the shares listed in the San Francisco stock boards was at the market rates $284,000,000, on one day of January, 1875, and $92,- 000,000, in a day of November of the same year, making a fluctuation of $192,000,000 in eleven months. The largest variation in any one month was $139,000,000, the smallest $21,000,000; the average for each month counting only from the highest to the lowest $50,000,000.
The assessed value of the land and buildings within the city limits west of Larkin and Ninth streets and south of Mission creek, was $1,200,000 in 1860, and in 1876 more than $50,000,000.
The number of street lamps increased more than tenfold from 1860 to 1876.
The banking capital of California at the close of 1876, as shown by full statistics in the "Bulletin" of February 10, 1877, was $182,000,000 (includ- ing capital and deposits), and San Francisco had four fifths of the whole.

APPENDIX.
At the end of 1876 there were 27,000 buildings in San Francisco, and of these 4,390 were of brick, and nearly all the others of wood. Of 1600 houses erected in 1876, all save 35 were of wood.
The following condensed statistics furnish in a small space much informa- tion about the growth and present condition of the industry and traffic of San Francisco and California. For explanations sec the remarks after cach table:

The population cf San Francisco for various years from 1858 to 1876, as given above in thousands, and the number of new buildings in the city arc taken from the estimates in Langley's directories. The similar figures for the population of Oakland are from local estimates. The amounts of money de- posited in the savings banks of San Francisco, and in those of other towns of California, the dividends by all companies and by mining companies, the assessments levied by mining companies, and the carnings and expenses of the Central Pacific railroad company, are in millions of dollars. The sta- tistics on this table, sove those about Oakland, the interior savings banks, and the miles of railroad built, relate to the business of San Francisco.
In the following table the taxable property of San Francisco, Oakland, and the state, the amount of real estate sales in San Francisco and Oakland, the sums collected as federal revenue, and those paid as freights on cargocs com- ing from foreign and domestic Pacific ports (those from domestic Pacific ports are not included), are in millions of dollars; the amounts of freight from Panama and China, and by rail passing across the continent westward and castward, are given in thousands of tons; and the expenses of the city gov- ernment of San Francisco are in thousands of dollars. The westward rail-

In the table following, the rain-fall is given from the figures of Thomas Tennent, for the crop ycar extending from July Ist to June 30th, and the number of the year is taken from the one in which the crop year terminates. Thus the crop year of 1852 is the year ending June 30th, of 1852. The cx- port of wheat is for a crop year, not a calendar year. The other figures are for calendar years. The numbers of acres cultivated in all crops and in wheat of vines, of tons of shipping that arrive from coast ports, from American ports on the Atlantic, and from all ports, of tons of wheat and of wool and of flasks of quicksilver exported are given by the thousand. The number of vines was reported by tho assessors in 1874, and since the number of acres in vines. In 1876 there were 82,661 acres in vines.
Vallejo loaded 37 ships with wheat and flour for Europe in the crop year of 1873; 81 in the crop year of 1874; 70 in the crop year of 1875, and 90 in the crop year cf 1876. Oakland loaded 17 ships with wheat in the crop year of

In the following table the immigrants are given in thousands. Thus in 1854, 67,000 immigrants arrived, 23,000 departed, and there was a gain of 44,000. Theso are round numbers, and a thousand being the unit of measure- ment, any fraction less than half a thousand is not counted; while a fraction exceeding a half is counted as a whole one. Thus 43,600 is counted as 44,000; whilo 43,400 is counted as 43,000. The exports, coinage and treasure yield are given in millions of dollars. All the immigrants mentioned in the table before 1869, came or went by sea. After April of that year, tho figures in- clude the statistics of the Central-Union Pacific Railroads. The arrivals and departures in 1870, by rail, were 32,000 and 23,000 respectively; in 1871, 30,000 and 22,000; in 1872, 34,000 and 22,000; in 1873, 44,000 and 33,000; in
