Causes of Death.
The causes of death are tabulated in Table XII. (Table IV.
of the Local Government Board series), and, are set out in
greater detail in Table XIII.
Zymotic Mortality.
Table XI. shows the deaths from the chief zymotic diseases
for the ten years 1892-1901, and the year 1902 respectively.
The figures for 1902 compare favourably, on the whole, with
those in the preceding years, although small-pox makes an
unwelcome appearance. The great and progressive reduction
in the number of diphtheria deaths since 1898 is a striking
feature of the table.
