In the case of Essex the standard death-rate was found to be 18*63. This being higher than the death-rate of Eng- land and Wales during 1891-1900 (18*2) the crude death-rates for the County have to be diminished in corresponding pro- portion, that is to say, multiplied by the fraction or *9769 This fraction is therefore termed the “ factor for correction ” for TABLE III.

Factors for correction have been calculated in this manner for the Administrative County, the Urban Districts, the Rural Districts, and a number of the more important individual
