The above table shows the importance of the immigration wave of the early " seventies " and apart from a slight rise in 1882-84 the steady falling off during the depression of the " eighties." The next table shows the provincial distribution of immigrants during the two decades following 1871 :

Table No. 47. —Table showing the Distribution of Immigrants into the Provinces in the 1870's and 1880's

It is interesting to note that more than 56 per cent, of all immigrants in this period went to Otago and Canterbury. The provinces in the North Island received only 39 per cent, of the total immigrants as compared with 56 per cent, for Otago and Canterbury alone.
