Chapman, p. 383: "...there may have been about 133,000 native inhabitants in what is now the state as a whole, and 70,000 in or near the conquered area. The missions included only the Indians of given localities, though it is true that they were situated on the best lands and in the most populous centres. Even in the vicinity of the missions, there were some unconverted groups, however." See en:Population of Native California.
