The numbers of births in the Wards are not known, and failing such information Table 27
has been constructed. Being based on the rates per 1,000 estimated living at ages under one
year, the figures are not satisfactory, and the value of the rates can be judged by the following
comparison:—
Mortalities at ages under One Year,
per 1,000 estimated
living at ages under
one year.
per 1,000 births
registered.
Males. Females. Males. Females.
