Abstract

I. The General Movement. The official figures of 1869–75, 67.— Magnitude of the movement in 1876–1906 as reflected in the figures of the Bureau of Statistics, 69; doubts as to these figures, 73; they understate the truth, 77.—Unreliability of statistics for emigration into particular countries of Europe, 78.—II. The Overland Movement, 79.—Unreliability of the official classification into "permanent" and "temporary" emigration, 80; total permanent emigration by another method, 83; extent of temporary emigration into Europe, 84.—III. The Oversea Movement. Transatlantic emigration in American figures, 88.—These figures higher than those of the Italian Bureau of Statistics, 91.—Inference that they are also more reliable strengthened by examination of other figures, 92.—Magnitude of the return movement from America, 95; as affected by American economic conditions, 98; growth of the return movement, 99.— Recapitulation and conclusion, 101.
