Notes.—This Table is arranged to show both the gross births and deaths in the district,
and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding rates. The rates in
column 7 are calculated per 1,000 of the gross population. In this district in which large
Public Institutions for the sick and infirm seriously affect the statistics, the rates in columns
5 and 13 are calculated on a nett population, obtained by deducting from the gross population
the average number of inmates not belonging to the district in such institutions. The rate in
column 11 is calculated on the nett births.
*In column 6 are included the whole of the deaths registered during the year as having
actually occurred within the district, but excluding the deaths of soldiers and sailors that have
occurred in the district.
