natural increase was of 9.5 per mil. As observed in the whole area, this in-
crease did not correspond comparably to the growth of the population due
to the emigration, which diminished the natural increase effect by 4.1 per
mil yearly (Table 9.3).

The Bazovica territory differed from the rest of the karstic district be-
cause of a delay in the faster growth. This started only after 1810 to strength-
en after 1818. Until then the rise was supported by the immigration, while
in the following years until the middle of the century the population in-
creased thanks to a considerably higher natural surplus. In the first two
decades of the century the population growth was presumably boosted by
immigration in the entire area, especially in the largest villages. The dis-
crepancy in the growth between Bazovica and the other district zones re-
flect different development potentialities of some villages especially, which
benefited from a more favourable geographical position and many more
opportunities of involvement into the city economy, as will be further dis-
cussed.

In the second half of the century the development in the Bazovica
chaplaincy again differed from the rest of the karstic district. In the 1850s
and 1860s the increase of the population was lower, while it exceeded in
