*For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population to the middle of the year on the basis of the rate
of increase ruling between the two preceding Censusiods. The estimate of population may be checked by the known
number of inhabited houses, and by the average number of inmates per house, as ascertained at the preceding Census.
* * the deaths of non-parishioners in public institutions within the parish should bo deducted, but a a proportion of the
deaths occurring in General Hospitals, relative to the population of the parish or district, should bo added to the total number
of deaths in this column.
