N.B. — In this and previous Reports, the birth Rate is calculated upon the special Borough populations estimated respectively for that purpose
by the Registrar.General for the years 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, viz., 308,702, 303,245, 293,869, 294,097, and 294,303. These
populations are the civil populations plus all non.civilians enlisted from this country, whether serving at home or abroad, this non-civilian
element being distributed over all the districts in the country in proportion to their estimated civilian population.
