rates calculated in the customary manner. There are several points in the table which require
elucidation, but consideration of them must be postponed until the causes of death have been
examined in connection with sex and age.
One last criterion of the changes which have taken place in the incidence of death at
these ages may be mentioned, viz., the postponement (or advancement) of the ages at which
the original number of children born alive (assumed to be 100,000) was reduced to 95,000,
90,000 ... or less. In Table 0 the ages for each sex are given at which less than the
stated numbers of survivors were observed, the actual numbers of survivors at those ages
being shown in parentheses. The material for such a table is furnished by Tables II. and IIa.
