In Table I. will be found, for the first time in these
Reports, the corrected totals of deaths and the corrected
death-rates, calculated upon the estimated population for
each year from 1868. (The corrected total of deaths was
calculated in a somewhat different manner before 1874;
I have re-calculated it, and the corrected death-rate for
each year is according to the method adopted by the
Registrar-General, so that these death-rates are comparable
with those published in his Reports.)
From this table it appears that the corrected total of
deaths in 1877 was 1,590, the average for the nine preceding
