Note.βThe number of births given as occurring in each year differs slightly from those stated elsewhere in
this Report, but for all practical purposes the difference is negligible.
* In this figure are included 65 births in respect of which no legal action as to vaccination has yet been taken;
the rates for Columns 10-13 have therefore not been calculated.
