of females above fifteen exceeds the number of
males by the large number of 1887, or nearly onethirteenth
of the whole population. Of this number
954 are single women, 49 are married women, and
984 are widows.

In estimating the causes of disease and death in
any particular district, it is a matter of importance
to know accurately the occupation of the inhabitants,
