Note.—The omission of a number from the first column denotes that no death was registered from the cause of death to which the number relates.
Note.—It will be noted that the total number of deaths in the Ward distribution is 8 less than the total number of deaths at the age periods. This
is accounted for by the fact that in these cases a definite address was not registered. (See note at foot of Table II.)
