year was 445, compared to an excess of 560 in 1903.

Deaths.
The death.rate for the year was 16.8. This is 2.6 higher than the rate
for 1903, and 0.8 above the average for the last 10 years. This increase
in the general death.rate is largely due to the increase in infantile deaths.
If the deaths of all children under 12 months of age were deducted from
the total deaths registered in 1903 and 1904, and the rates calculated on the
remaining deaths the rate for 1903 would be 10.9 and that for 1904 11.3,
a difference between the two of only 0.4.

of non.residents, was 550. Of these 296 were males and 254 females.
