* The Standard Death Rate signifies the death rate at all ages calculated on the hypothesis that the
rates at each of the twelve-age periods in each town were the same as in England and Wales during the ten
years 1891-1901; the death rate at all ages in England and Wales during that period having been
1819 per 1,000.
† The Factor for Correction is the figure by which the Crude or Recorded Death Rate should be
multiplied in order to correct for variations of sex and age distribution.
‡ The Corrected Death Rate is the Crude or Recorded Death Rate after correction has been made for
variations of age and sex distribution, and may be obtained by multiplying the latter by the Factor for
Correction.
§ The Comparative Mertality Figure represents the Corrected Death Rate in each Borough compared
with the Recorded Death Rate at all ages in England and Wales in 1905 taken as_1.000.
