„ „ 1908 ,, 25.3 ,, „
„ „ 1909 ,, 24.6 ,, „
1910 „ 24.4
1911 „ 23.5
1912 „ 22.1

The birth-rate, which it will thus be seen has been diminishing
year by year, is 1.0 per 1,000 of the population lower than last
year. The birth-rate throughout England and Wales in 1914 is
0'3 per 1,000 below the rate in 1913, and is lower than the rate

of 0'6 per 1,000 upon the average in the ten years 1904-1913.
The number of illegitimate births was 63, of which 31 were
males and 32 females.
Our illegitimate birth-rate is therefore 48 per 1,000 of the

DEATHS.
As in last year's returns, the transferable deaths, that is those

The death-rate tor England and Wales in 1914 was 14.0; for
