merated de facto by the 1931 Census the natural increase
and the net recorded migratory increase in the period be-
tween the census data and the end of 1944. Whilst natural
increase records are presumably on the whole fairly com-
plete, data on net migratory increase are less reliable. These
data are calculated too, as far as possible on a de facto
basis, by subtracting the recorded departures from Palestine
from the recorded arrivals. However, (i) net immigration
is the residuum of a vast movement of arrivals and depar-
tures. In 1932-44 out of 2,119,732 arrivals and 1,861,510
departures, net recorded immigration was 258,222. In so
large a movement account must be taken of the possibility
of cumulative errors. (ii) Not all the migratory move-
ments are recorded. It is well known that a considerable
movement of illegal immigration occurs across the borders
of Palestine. Since 1939 records have been kept of illegal
immigrants enumerated in ships, arrested, or inferred from
reliable evidence, and are included in population estimates.
These records are, however, incomplete for 1939-44 and
no such records exist for 1932-38.
For the Jewish population it has been possible to correct,
to a certain extent, the estimate of population, by taking
into consideration detailed estimates by locality prepared by
the Jewish Agency and the Food Controller, By compiling
all available data a revised conservative de facto estimate
has been obtained which amounts to 553,600 at the end
of 1944 as compared with the unrevised estimate of
528,700 which excluded persons whose arrival in the coun-
try had gone unrecorded.
For the Moslem and Christian population, it has not been
possible to take account of unrecorded movements; but
these movements are not considered to be such as to involve
very substantial errors in the estimate.
A first and provisional estimate of the population of each
religion by sub-district, was obtained by adding to the
population enumerated in 1931 the natural increase in the
sub-district up to the end of 1944 and by allotting to the
sub-district a part of the migratory increase of the whole
country. Afterwards, a detailed correction of the provi-
sional estimate data was made in order to allow for the
consequences of internal migratory movements between sub-
districts (which are not recorded in Palestine). This cor-
rection was made up as follows:
