(columns 2-8). They are also, in columns 9-11, to be included among
the deaths in their respective "Localities" according to the previous
addresses of deceased as given by the Registrars. Deaths of
"Non-Residents" occurring in public institutions in the district
are in like manner to be excluded from columns 2-8 and 9-11 of this
Table.

Residents," and as to the " Public Institutions " to be taken into
account for the purposes of these Tables. The "Localities"
should be the same as those in Tables II. and III.

district, whether of "Residents" or of "Non-Residents," are,
in addition to be dealt with as in note (a), to be entered in the
last column of this Table. The total number in this column
should equal the figures for the year in column 9, Table II.

have reason for including such deaths, especially those of infants,
under the specific term "Diarrhoea." Deaths from diarrhoea
secondary to some other well-defined disease should be included
under the latter.
Under the headings of "Cancer" and "Puerperal fever" should
be included all registered deaths from causes comprised within
