2. Second half-period of six years.

During the first half period, some the Colony being
without inhabitants at the commencement of it, the
number shipped off gave the whole of the numbers provided
for. During the second half period the numbers
pre- existing in the Colony must not only be taken
into the account but and they form the principal
object. Seven years is by far the most
common form of transportation, so much so that
without any material error it may be taken for
the only one. But before they come respectively
to be transported, a considerable time part of the time must,
in the instance of each convict, have elapsed:
call this one year: then by the commencement
of the second period a number equal to all that were transported
the first year will, upon the supposition of an
equable rate of influx, have gone off the list:
and, supposing the same rate to continue,
(laying out of the the numbers that go off the list every
year will be equal as great as the number
that go come on, even without taking deaths
into the account. From During this period then, the number
to be assumed in default of direct information must
be as the average number for the whole period, must be the
whole number of any one year: not half of the number
the of the last year of the period, as in the case of the first half period.

The Number existing in the Colony by the last returns
was 3070: this therefore, as well as any other,
may be taken for the number provided for in each
year, upon an average, throughout this last
half period.

Annual expence per head shewing, on this supposition,
during this last half period ... £33: 9s: 7d
