39
Deaths.—The total number of deaths certified as due to
diseases of a Tuberculous nature was 276—of whom 159 were
males, and 117 females. 235 deaths were due to Pulmonary
Tuberculosis and 41 to other forms of Tuberculosis.
Table XXI. gives further details regarding the type of the
disease, and sex, of these 276 deaths.

In addition to these deaths, which were duly certified in
the returns as due to Tuberculosis, 39 persons previously
notified as suffering from Tuberculosis died during the year.
These deaths, however, do not figure in Table XXII. for the
reason that:—
(a.) Eleven were certified as dying of diseases other
than Tuberculosis.
(b.) 28 had previously moved outside the Borough
and died there, the death being allocated to the area in which
it occurred.
The following Table gives figures for the last ten years,
showing both the number of deaths and the death-rate per
1,000 from Tuberculosis in the Borough.
