NOTES TO TABLES IV. AND V.
(а) In Table IV., all deaths of " Residents" occurring in public institutions
whether within or without the district, are to be included with the
other deaths in the columns for the several age groups (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 the 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 Table IV.
(б) See notes on Table I. as to the meaning of " Residents " and "
residents," and as to the "Public Institutions" to be taken into
account for the purposes of these Tables. The "Localities "in Table
IV. should be the same as those in Tables II. and III.
(c) All deaths occurring in public institutions situated within the district,
whether of "Residents" or of "Non-residents," are, in addition to
being dealt with as in note (a), to be entered in the last column of
Table IV. The total number in this column should equal the figures
for the year in column 9, Table I.
(d) The total deaths in the several "Localities" in columns 9.11 of
Table IV. should equal those for the year in the same localities in
Table II., sub-columns c. The total deaths at all ages in column 2
of Table IV. should equal the gross total of columns 9-11, and the
figures for the year in column 12 of Table I.
(e) Under the heading of "Diarrhœa" are to be included deaths,
registered as due to Epidemic Diarrhœa, Epidemic Enteritis,
Infective Enteritis, Zymotic Enteritis, Summer Diarrhœa,
Dysentery and Dysenteric Diarrhœa, Choleraic Diarrhœa, Cholera
(other than Asiatic or epidemic), and Cholera Nostras.
Deaths from diarrhœa secondary to some other well-defined
disease should be included under the latter.
Deaths from Enteritis, Muco-Enteritis, Gastro-Enteritis, and Gastritis
(see under the heading Diarrhœal Diseases in Table V.) in Tables
IV. and V. should be placed immediately below, but separately
from, those enumerated under the heading Diarrhœa as defined
by enumeration above. This is particularly important for deaths
under one year of age, as many of the deaths in infancy returned
as due to Enteritis are really caused by Epidemic Diarrhœa.
In the course of years, by the adoption of this recommendation,
it will be practicable to ascertain the probable amount of
transfer between these different headings.
(f) Under the headings of "Cancer" and "Puerperal Fever" should be
included all registered deaths from causes comprised within these
general terms. Thus: Under "Cancer" should be included
deaths from Cancer, Carcinoma. Malignant Disease, Scirrhus,
Epithelioma, Sarcoma, Villous Tumour and Papilloma of Bladder,
Rodent Ulcer. Under "Puerperal Fever" are to be included
deaths from Pyaemia, Septicaemia, Sapræmia, Pelvic Peritonitis,
Peri- and Endo-Metritis occurring in the Puerperium.
