NOTES OUST TABLES A AND B-
Note 1. Medical Officers of Health of " Combined Districts " must make a separate Return for the District of each
Sanitary Authority.
2. Medical Officers of Health acting for a portion only of the District of a Sanitary Authority should write, in
the heading of the Table, the designation of the Division for which they act.
3. The words " Urban," "Rural," or " Metropolitan" must be inserted in the appropriate space in the heading,
according as the Sanitary Authority for the District is Urban or Rural, or is within the Metropolitan Area.
4. The " Localities " adopted for the purpose of these statistics should be areas of known population ; such as
parishes, groups of parishes, townships or wards.
As stated at the head of the first column in each Table, Public Institutions should be regarded as separate
localities, and the deaths in them should be separately recorded. Workhouses, Hospitals, Infirmaries,
Asylums, and other establishments into which numbers of people, and especially of sick people, are received
are Public Institutions for the purpose of these statistics.
5. The deaths which have to be classified in this Table (A), and summed up in the horizontal line of "Totals,"
are the whole of those registered as having actually occurred in the several localities comprised within the
Division or District. But the registered number of deaths frequently requires correction before it can give
an exact view of the mortality of a Division or District; and the two lowest horizontal lines are provided
for the purpose of enabling Medical Officers of Health to indicate, to the best of their ability, what the
extent of such corrections should be. Details concerning the corrective figures, e.g., the institutions that
have been considered, or the particular localities to which corrections apply, may appear in the text of the
report or in supplementary tables.
