England the average mortality of males is 23.7 per
1,000, and of females 21.4.
MORTALITY AT DIFFERENT AGES.
The classification of deaths according to age is
exhibited in the fourth table of the Appendix, the
results being, that in every 1,000 deaths in the City,
173 were of infants of less than a year old, and 297
were of children under 5 years of age. At other
ages there were 61 deaths of young persons at from
5 to 20 years of age, 123 at from 20 to 40 years of
age, 231 at from 40 to 60, and 288 at 60 and upwards.
These numbers are a little different from the averages
of the last ten years, which show a much smaller
proportion of deaths below 40 years of age, and a
correspondingly larger proportion above. This will
be evident from the following table, which exhibits—
The average relative proportions of Deaths, per 1,000
