title: Knibbs and Wickens.
abstract: "A recent claim that the first Commonwealth Statistician [of Australia], Sir George Knibbs, was not the real author of the work 'The Mathematical Theory of Population' is shown to conflict with overwhelming evidence that Knibbs was the author in fact, as well as in name. Resolution of this question gives a keen appreciation of the work of Knibbs and his successor, Mr.  Charles Wickens."
