BIRTHS.
Table 7 gives particulars of the births registered and notified
in the district, and the births belonging to the district which
have occurred and been registered outside the district.
The total number of births are those registered during the
calendar year and are corrected for inward and outward transfers.
This figure is obtained at the end of the year from the Registrar
General, and is simply the total for the district. It does not allocate
the births to the wards, and from this total it is not possible
to make a ward allocation.
Last year the total number was 1019 ; 501 males and 518
females, and the figure is equal to a birth-rate of 14.4 per 1,000 inhabitants.
In addition 30 still births were returned as belonging
to the district; 16 males and 14 females.
