DEATHS OF YOUNG CHILDREN.
As usual about half the deaths (1,523, equal that is to 50.6 per
pent.) wore those of young children aged less than five years.
Assuming that the proportion of young children to adults has been
maintained since the last census, the number of young children in 1884
would be 19,700; upon this estimated population of young children
we shew a death rate of 77.3.
