number of deaths and the official estimate of the population
was 15.3 per 1,000 persons living during the year. This,
though slightly above the average death-rate of this sub-district
is a very low one, and is in point of fact, 1 per 1,000 below
the death.rate of the healthiest rural districts.

First quarter, 119; second quarter, 110; third quarter, 112;
fourth quarter, 104.
Deaths in Public Institutions.—Thirty-eight deaths took
place in outlying Institutions; if these are added to the 445
deaths actually occurring in the sub-district the death-rate
will be increased to 16.6 per 1,000 of the population.
