and the crude death rate multiplied by this figure can then be
compared with the crude death rate of the county as a whole or
with the mortality of any other local areas.
The corrected death rate obtained by the above is 11*6 as
compared with 121 for England and Wales and 12'5 for London.
The deaths occurred in persons of the following ages :—
23 under 1 year of age.

It will be noticed that no fewer than 293 persons died over
the age of 65, i.e., more than half the total deaths, while 92 were
deaths of people over 80 years of age.
