One has been used to give total for year ended 1 January 1841, and the other gives total for 13 weeks ending 25 September 1840 Forms are arranged in columns; causes of death are pre-printed and totals entered under relevant cause. There are also columns for age bands: 0 to 15, 15 to 60 and 60 and upwards, plus total under each cause of death.
