resident in the district who have died outside it, have
been included with the other deaths in columns 2-10.
Transferable deaths of non-residents, i.e., of persons
resident elsewhere in England or Wales who have died
in the district, have been in like manner excluded from
these columns. For the precise meaning of the term
" Transferable Deaths," see footnote to Table I.

situated within the district, whether of residents or of
non-residents, have been entered in the last column of

all inquest cases have been classed as "Certified" ; all
other deaths being regarded as " Uncertified."

Enteritis at all ages. (In the "Short List" deaths from
Diarrhoea and Enteritis under 2 years are included
under 19; those at 2 years and over being placed under
