In the first quarter the numbers given in the Table for both Districts
indicate the number of deaths registered during the period, no weekly returns
having been furnished. In the case of St. John's, however, the number has been
diminished by 26; this being the average number of persons dying in St. Mary's
Hospital, belonging to other Parishes. The numbers given for the second, third
and fourth quarters indicate the actual numbers of persons dying in these periods,
deduction being made of 17 deaths in the second quarter, 28 in the third, and
20 in the fourth, of inhabitants of other Parishes, inmates of St. Mary's Hospital.
The numbers for the last quarter require correction by addition of whatever
deaths may be still unregistered.
*This part of the Table may be read thus:— In every 1000 inhabitants of
St. Mary's District, about 21 die annually; of St. John's, 18, &c.
