================================================================





NOTE:  Due to the width of this table in the printed edition

of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display

legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been

separated and is shown BELOW the left half (after the row of

plus signs (+++++)).  The two halves of the table can be easily

reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions

on how to do this see the folder "Moving Fact Book Tables to

MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the 

BC Fact Book.
