The following statistical tables contain the data which have been used to analyze the various aspects of the Cuban slave market discussed in this book. Despite the presentation of some of these data in the early parts of this book, it is necessary to present the complete price series here because of their uniqueness and projected importance for future scholars examining Cuban history.

The prices in the following Tables B.1 through B.13 are averages or mean prices for the categories indicated. Standard deviations, which measure the tightness of fit around the mean, are not listed since to do so would have made each table even more voluminous. Standard deviations have been calculated year by year for all categories. Although the ratio between the mean price and the standard deviation for prime-age slaves varied from year to year, the average ratio between 1790 and 1880 was 2.1.
