Note.—The omission of a number from the first column denotes that no death was registered from that cause.
Note.—It will be noted that the total number of deaths in the Ward distribution is 7 less than the total number of deaths at the age periods. This
is accounted for by the fact that in these caees a definite address was not registered. (See note at foot of Table II.)
