below the average of the preceding twenty years. The chief
causes of death in this age period were:—Premature birth,
26; Congenital malformation, 11; Debility, 9; Atelectasis,
6 ; injury at birth, 6.
On the next three pages are three Tables which classify in
various ways the infant mortality figures of the Borough;
while Table No. 25, which follows, shows the various rates for
stated groups of diseases presented in a comparable form
