NOTES ON TABLES A AND B.
Note 1. Medical Officers of Health of " Combined Districts" must make a
separate Return for the District of each Sanitary Authority.
2. Medical Officers of Health acting for a portion only of the District of
a Sanitary Authority should write, in the heading of the Table, the
designation of the Division for which they act.
3. The words " Urban" " Rural,'' or "Metropolitan" must be inserted in
in the appropriate space in the heading, according as the Sanitary
Authority for the District is Urban or Rural, or is within the
Metropolitan Area.
4. The " Localities " adopted for the purpose of these statistics should
be areas of known population; such as parishes, groups of parishes.
townships or wards.
As stated at the head of the first column in each Table, Public
Institutions should be regarded as separate localities, and the deaths
in them should be separately recorded. Workhouses, Hospitals,
Infirmaries, Asylums, and other establishments in which numbers
of people, and especially of sick people, are received, are Public
Institutions for the purpose of these statistics.
ft. The deaths which hare to be classified in this Table (A), and
summed up in the horizontal line of " Totals," are the whole of
those registered as having actually occurred in the several localities
comprised within the Division or District. But the registered
number of deaths frequently requires correction before it can give
an exact view of the mortality of a Division or District; and the
two lowest horizontal lines are provided for the purpose of enabling
Medical Officers of Health to indicate, to the best of their ability,
what the extent of such corrections should be. Details concerning
the corrective figures, e.g., the institutions that have been considered,
or the particular localities to which corrections apply,
may appear in the text of the report or in supplementary tables.
