The following table shows the number of deaths that took place amongst infants under 1 year and adults of 65 years and upwards in each of the four quarters of 1925. For purposes of comparison the table for 1919 is reproduced from the report for that year. It is interesting to note that the figures relating to both infants and the elderly have fallen considerably. The distribution of the deaths is the same in each of the two years, the heaviest incidence in both ok and young falling in the first and last quarter. 1925
