Deaths.
During the year the total number of deaths registered was 675. Of these
223 were persons belonging to other localities, making the real number of
deaths of residents 452, of which 239 were males and 213 females.
The numbers registered in each of the four quarters of the year are set out in the following tables, the first dealing with all deaths and the second with the deaths of residents only:—

Death-rate. The death-rate for the year, based on the estimated
population and the number of deaths of residents is 13 9 per 1000.
This death-rate is nearly 3 per 1000 less than the rate for 1904. It is
below the average for the last ten years, and with the exception of 1897, is less
than the rate in any one of those years. It must, however, be noted that the
death-rate for the whole of England and Wales was lower in 1905 than in 1904.
In addition to the deaths of residents registered in the district, 23 deaths
of residents occurred outside. In previous years such deaths have not been
included, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a record of them, but this year
Dr. Young, the County Medical Officer of Health, has obtained the necessary
details and seat them to the Medical Officers of Health in each district in
Middlesex.
