14. The death-rate among males was 118, and among
females was 12'3. The death-rate of males in the four
preceding years was 14 7, 13 3, 13.6, and 13.4 respectively,
and of females 13 6, 14 3, 12 8, and 13.6. These rates are
estimated on the numbers of the two sexes found at the
Census of 1901, and, consequently, their relative proportions
alone are of value.
