CHAPTER VII. THE EUROPEAN RACES IN COLONIES
76 : 16. An old edition of the _Encyclopædia Britannica_ states: “The
pure white population [of Venezuela] is estimated at only one per cent
of the whole, the remainder of the inhabitants being Negroes (originally
slaves, now all free), Indians and mixed races (Mulattoes and Zambos).”
The 11th edition of the _Encyclopædia Britannica_ estimates the
percentage of whites, the creole element (whites of European descent),
at 10 per cent, as in Colombia, and the mixed races at 70 per cent, the
remainder consisting of Africans, Indians and resident foreigners.
76 : 19. Jamaica. _The New International Encyclopedia_, 1915 edition,
gives as follows figures which agree with the 1915 _Statesman’s
