There is no reason to assume that the age constitution differs from
that prevailing in 1901, and we have therefore a proportionately smaller
number of persons over 45 years of age than the country generally.
It will be noticed that the death-rate of persons above 45 is much
greater than in any of the other age groups, except that under 5, and
doubtless this unequal age distribution in our population slightly
favours our death-rate.
The character of our population, too, changes but little—as in 1901
so it is in 1909.
The following Summary of the Sanitary and other
data of importance are given for easy reference :—
