Distribution of Deaths among Males and Females.
| Sex. | At all ages. | Under 1 year. | 1 and under 5. | 5 and under 15. | 15 and under 25. | 25 and under 65. | 65 and upwards. |

Taking the corrected number of deaths of persons belonging to the district at 94; as set out in
the foregoing tables; this gives a death rate of 9.4 per thousand of the estimated population; an increase
of 0.1 per thousand compared with the previous year.
The death rate for England and Wales for the year 1910, is 13.4 per thousand.
