8
who died at City Institutions in outside districts,
where, of course, they were registered. The
mortality therefore upon which our death
rate is calculated is 558.
The details of the deaths occurring in the
City will be found in Appendix A.
Of the deaths registered, 9.5 per cent. were
caused by injuries or violence, as compared
with 10T in 1895.
The death rate for 1896 was 17.8 per 1,000
per annum of the population (the previous
year being 18.3), that for the whole of the
Metropolis for 1896 being 18.6. These figures
are not corrected for sex and age distribution.
In comparing these figures with the returns
of the Registrar-General some slight discrepancies
will be observed, due to the fact
that I have not been furnished with the
number of citizens who died in Institutions
other than those with which the City is
connected.
