who have died outside it, are to be included with the other deaths in
columns 2-10. Transferable deaths of non-residents, i.e., of persons resident
elsewhere in England and Wales who have died in the district, are in like
manner to be excluded from these columns. For the precise meaning of the
term "transferable deaths" see footnote to Table I.

district, whether of residents or of non-residents, are to be entered in the last
column of Table III.
