256 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-13TH ANNUAL REPORT


 White and negro churches are tabulated separately, but there is some uncertainty about apportioning the Northern Methodists, both branches of Presbyterians, and some smaller denominations between the two races, for the census did not divide these accord;ng to race for areas smaller than states- but it has been assumed
that the ratio between white and colored members is the same in central Florida as in the whole State. Denominations making up
less than i % of the total church membership are here grouped together under the head of "all others.- The figures in the table are percentages, and should add up to about ioo iii each half of each column.
