Deaths.
Although there has been an estimated increase of 3,000

254 is ten less than last year. The death rate is at the average
of 10.5 per 1,000 as against 12.0 per 1,000 in the preceding
year, and is lower than it has been any time during the previous
decade.

The epitome of the ages at death is as follows:—

Over 1 year and under 5 years ... 21
Over 5 years and under 15 years ... 12
Over 15 years and under 25 years ... 6
Over 25 years and under 65 years ... 78
65 years and upwards... ... ... 69
A careful analysis of the deaths of persons of 65 years of
age and upwards tends to show that the mild climate of the
Thames Valley is distinctly favourable to longevity.
