Notes.—(a) The separate localities adopted for this table should be areas
of which the populations are obtainable from the census
returns, such as wards, parishes or groups of parishes, or
registration sub-districts. Block 1 may if desired, be used
for the whole district, and blocks 2, 3, &c., for the several
localities. In small districts without recognised divisions
of known population this table need not be filled up.
(b) Deaths of residents occurring beyond the District are to be
included in sub-columns c of this table, and those of nonresidents
registered in the district excluded. (See note on
Table I. as to meaning of terms "resident" and "nonresident.")
(c) Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions are to be
allotted to the respective localities, according to addresses
of the deceased.
* Sub-districts are now combined and show no separate birth-rate.
