Under the provisions of the Notifications of Births Act,
1907, intimations have been received from medical men,
parents, and others, with respect to 2,553 births, from which
it will be seen that we have 172 intimations to be credited
to births which were registered during the latter part of
1910, or will be registered during the early part of 1912, as
the time allowed by law for registration purposes extends
up to six weeks, whereas that under the Notification of
Births Act is to be within 36 hours.

amongst the various Metropolitan Boroughs were 9.6 in
