INFANTILE MORTALITY.
There were 60 deaths registered of infants under one year of
age, as against 1,002 births; the proportion which the deaths
under one year of age bear to 1,000 births is, therefore, 59.8, as
against 99.8 in the preceding year.
The deaths under one year of age form 96 per cent. of the total deaths at all ages, whereas those for the preceding year formed 12.6 per cent.
