EXPLANATION.
The spaces indicating settlements are in many cases too small to admit a complete description of the inhabitants, and accordingly they have been marked by races rather than by nationalities and tribes. “German” is made to do duty for all inhabitants of Germany whether Low or High, as well as for Austrians, German Swiss, and Russo-German Mennonites. The last are reported simply as Mennonites, but are, I believe, in all cases of German origin. “Scandinavian” is used instead of Swede, Norwegian and Dane, because in some cases the distinction was not made in the reports, and in order to limit the number of colors on the map which is to come. In the case of Scotch I have been unable to secure information whether they are Highlanders or Lowlanders, and in case of Irish, to what extent, if at all, they speak the old Irish language.
