The number of births was 10,* viz. : 4 male and 6 females. The birth-rate was 12.7 per
1,000, which is 2.8 per 1,000 above the average for the previous five years. The birth-rate
in these Dwellings reached a maximum of 46.9 per 1,000 in 1896, and has since been falling
irregularly, but almost progressively.
The death rate for 1935 was 19.2 per 1,000 per annum.
For the purposes of comparison of births and death rates, the population in the whole
of these dwellings has been included in the calculation, as probably representing a class
homogeneity.
