Note that the data for 1880 and 1890 were not plotted due to limitations in Excel's date handling (dates before 1900 are treated as text, and cannot form part of an axis of dates). Note also that I have used 1 January in the dates; this was arbitrarily chosen to coerce Excel to recognise it as a date.

The figures prior to 2005 were originally expressed as percentages (Williams, 2002). The 2005 percentages were calculated from raw data (see the link below):
