Abstract: Readers of this journal were introduced to the Population Growth Estimation (pGE) experiment in the issue of Spring 1962 [51. Since then five mimeograplled interim reportsl have appeared and two papers have been presented to· international conferences [23;41. The experiment is now in its third year and the time has come to report more comprehensively on the findings and experiences of the first two years. We feel the importance of the findings to be so great for the future of this country (and the confidence in their reliability to be sufficiently high) that they should be disclosed. Even if not immediately accepted, the findings will provoke continued enquiries, resulting in eventual acceptance of more generally agreed upon vital rates. Simultaneously, a more comprehensive report in the form of a monograph is being prepared [3]. Opinions of an assertive nature in this article will - it is hoped - be justified more convincingly in the monograph.
