Thin was in the main the case in Norway until 1845;
subsequently, however, the emigration surplus has detracted to a
considerable degree from the growth. While the actual growth during
the years 1856—1865 still amounted to 89 per cent of the natural,
from 1866 to 1875 the country retained only 51 percent, and from
1876 to 1890, no more than 46 per cent of its excess of births.

To illustrate the actual growth of the population, and its
dependence upon the amount of emigration, the following diagram
is subjoined. The unbroken line represents the actual growth of
the population, while the dotted line indicates the surplus of
emigration.



The proportion of the actual to the natural increase of the
population, however, is very different in the eases of the towns
and of the rural districts, the latter having always borne the
excess of emigration for the whole country, and having,
moreover, been obliged to relinquish a part in order to augment the
towns. How the proportion in this respect has stood since 1845
will be seen from the following table, which gives the actual
increase of the population in the form of a percentage of the
natural increase.
