(This Table is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Health.)

Notes.— this Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the district, and the births and deaths
properly belonging to it with the corresponding rates. For years before 1911 some of the corrected rates probably
will not be available. The rates should be calculated per 1,000 of the estimated gross population. In a district in
which large Public Institutions for the sick or infirm seriously affect the statistics, the rates in columns 5 and 13
may be calculated on a nett population, obtained by deducting from the estimated gross population the average
number of inmates not belonging to the district in such institutions.
* In Column 6 are to te included the whole of the deaths registered during the year as having actually
occurred within the district.
In Column 12 is to be entered the number in Column 6, corrected by subtraction of the number in Column 8
and by addition of the number in Column 9. Deaths in Column 10 are to be similarly corrected by subtraction of
the deaths under 1, included in the number given in Column 8, and by addition of the deaths under 1 included in
the number given in Column 9.
† The Medical Officer of Health will be able from the returns made to him by the local Registrar of Deaths, as
well as from the quarterly lists furnished by the Registrar-General, to fill in Column 8 in accordance with the rule in
the next paragraph below. The Registrar-General, either directly or through the County Medical Officer of Health, will
supply the Medical Officer of Health with the particulars of deaths to be entered in Column 9 ; and all such deaths must
be included in this Column, unless an error is detected, and its correction has been accepted by the Registrar-General.
For Column 4 the Registrar-General will furnish to the Medical Officer of Health a statement of the number of births
needing to be added to or subtracted from the total supplied by the local Registrar.
‡ "Transferable Deaths" are deaths of persons who, having a fixed or usual residence in England or Wales, die in a
district other than that in which they resided. The deaths of persons without fixed or usual residence, e.g., casuals,
must not be included in Columns 8 or 9, except in certain instances under 3 (b) below. The Medipal Officer of
Health will state in Column 8 the number of transferable deaths of "non-residents" which are to be deducted, and
will state in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered outside the district which are to be added in
calculating the nett death-rate of his district.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths:—
(1) Persons dying in institutions for the sick or infirm, such as hospitals, lunatic asylums, workhouses, and
nursing homes (but not almshouses) must be regarded as residents of the district in which they had a fixed or usual
residence at the time of admission. If the person dying in an institution had no fixed residence at the time of
admission, the death is not transferable. If the patient has been directly transferred from one such institution to
another, the death is transferable to the district of residence at the time of admission to the first Institution.
(2) The deaths of infants born and dying within a year of birth in an Institution to which the mother was
admitted for her confinement should be referred to the district of fixed or usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from Violence are to be referred (a) to the district of residence, under the general rule; (b) if this
district is unknown, or the deceased had no fixed abode, to the district where the accident occurred, if known ; (c)
failing this, to the district where death occurred, if known; and (d) failing this, to the district where the body
was found.
