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 distiict 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 II 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.
