Note.—The number of births given as occurring in each year differs slightly from those stated elsewhere in this Report, but for all
practical purposes the difference is negligible.
* In this figure are included 242 births in the last four months of the year, in respect of which no action as to vaccination has
yet been taken. The rates for Columns 10-13 have therefore not been calculated.
