NOTES ON TABLES 3 AND 4.
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 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.
Area and Population of the District
or Division to which this Return relates.

In recording the facts under the various headings of Tables 3 and 4,
attention has been given to the notes endorsed on the Tables.
