    The following statement gives the particulars for each of the 22 years, in which it will be seen that the death-rate varied very little from year to year. Only in 1911 did it fall below 3 0 per 1,000 of the population; the highest recorded rate being 3.36, and (with the exception of 1911) the lowest 302.
