The report indicates that be- tween 11 and 16 per cent, of tlm negro population have or are be¬ lieved by the enumerators, to have some degree of white blood. The center of t lie negro papu¬ lation is in De Kalb county, Ala¬ bama, about four miles from the western boundary of Georgia, having moved thence from Din- widdle county, Virginia, 476 miles nortlienst, sineo 1790.
