The 1867 New Zealand census was held on 19 December 1867. Māori were not enumerated. The total population of people of non-Māori descent, including those from non-European countries such as China, was 218,668, plus 1,455 military men and their families. Across the country there was an average of 20.6% more men than women, down from almost 24% in 1864. This difference was most marked in Nelson Province, which had almost 38% more men than women. In Auckland Province there was only a 12% "excess" of men. Part of the discrepancy was acknowledged to be an influx of (male) miners to the gold fields. 97% of Chinese in New Zealand in 1867 lived in Otago Province, and around 18% of miners on the Otago goldfields were Chinese. Although Māori were not counted in the 1867 census, estimates were made. Native Commissioner Alexander Mackay surveyed Māori in the provinces of Canterbury, Otago and Southland in early 1868, just a few months after the official census. His results showed a total of 1,438 Māori in those three provinces. Most Māori lived in the North Island, and the population there (including Nelson and the Chatham Islands) was estimated to be around 37,000, giving a total nationwide of about 38,500. The Registrar-General believed this estimate to be lower than the true number of Māori.
