The rate is calculated on the larger number. i Membranous croup was not separated from ‘'croup not spasmodic” till 1895. The mortality for 1895-1902 was 0'05 ; for 1903, 0^05. '1 he annual rate from diphtheria for ten years, and memb. croup for eight years, was therefore 0’35, and the seven diseases 277 instead ot 271, when memb. croup is excluded. 4 The average of the published returns were birth-rate 31'2, death-rate I9’5. The higher figures obtained from calculating the births and deaths on the arithmetical mean of populations for 1897 and 1898, obtained by method of interpolation explained in report for 1901, have been printed above. The death-rates for special groups are the uncorrected means of the published returns.
