The entire Parish contains 4472 inhabitants. (3) Cathcart Parish is partly in Lanarkshire. The entire Parish contains 2056 inhabitants.

The three Parishes together appear to contain 22,088 inhabitants. (9) One male in Houstoun and Killellan Parish upwards of 100 years of age.

The Total Number of Persons in the Shire of Renfrew was 112,175; and the Ages, as returned, being of 112,577 Persons, are rather redundant than deficient.

The Number of Enumeration Returns received from the Shire of Renfrew was 22, every one of which contained an answer to the question concerning the Ages of Persons.

The Total Number of Persons in the Shires of Ross and Cromarty was 68,828; and the Number of Persons whose Ages were returned was 56,054: whence it appears, that the Ages of between one-fifth and one-sixth part of the Persons therein enumerated have not been obtained in compliance with the question to that effect.

The Total Number of Enumeration Returns received from the Shires of Ross and Cromarty was 33; five of which contained no answer to the question concerning Ages, and are thus marked (+): a small proportion of the Returns of Ages were somewhat deficient, or redundant-or incorrect in the respective Numbers of Males and Females.
