    Most of the figures for 1894 may be looked on as average ones, notwithstanding the loss of Cockington, which is a new town with a singularly low death-rate. The increased infantile rate is associated with and partly due to fewer births ; the presence of whooping cough tended in the same direction. The deaths from consumption seem to be gradually declining, and it is gratifying to record that there were only 6 fatalities attributed to other forms of tubercle. The significance of this point may, from the standpoint of public health, be considered of great importance. jlhatjj-rah, &c hi mth parish ► Parishes.
