GEOGRAPHY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA 265


 suses, typographical errors make the figures for single counties ,or regions tunreliable, but of course they do not affect the totals for the whole area so much. In the next table, as in that for 1895,
 only three columns of figures are given, one for central Florida, one for the rest of the State, and one for the whole State. St.
 Lucie County was cut off from Brevard shortly before this census, making the area to be included in central Florida smaller, but not materially affecting the ratios.
