BIRTHS.
Table 7 has been made out in the same form as in recent
years. The total number of deaths is obtained from the Registrargeneral,
and included all the births which belong to the district
wherever they may have been registered throughout the kingdom.
The registered births numbered 885, 5 more than in 1936,
444 males and 442 females, and correspond to an annual birthrate
of 12.8 per 1,000 inhabitants. This is 0.1 per 1,000 higher than
the birth-rate of 1936.
The still-births numbered 32, and corresponded to a rate
of 0.46 per l,000 inhabitants and 3.6 per cent. of the total births.
The birth-rate for England and Wales was 14.9 per 1,000,
and for the 125 County Boroughs and Great Towns was 14.9, and
for the Administrative County of London, 13.3.
We have not a complete record of the births registered
outside, and therefore a correct allocation into wards is not possible.
