The infant mortality, that is, the deaths under one year to births
registered, works out at 102.7 per 1,000, and the deaths under five years
to 146 0 per 1,000, whilst the percentage of deaths under one year is 25.4.
The mortality under one year per 1,000 inhabitants, amounts to
2.14 against 2.67 in 1895 and 2.0 in 1894, and the mortality under five
years to 3.04 per 1,000 inhabitants, comparing with 4.1 for 1895 and
3.0 in 1894.
The mortality for 65 years and over amounts to 2.25 per 1,000
inhabitants, comparing with 2.54 for 1895.
The infant mortality may be considered small, as it compares with
the rate of mortality among infants under one year of age to 1,000
births registered in England and Wales, namely,—148 for 1896, which
was about the mean proportion in the 10 years, 1886-1895.
