    District Deaths. In the next table the death-rates from all causes in each of the 37 districts comprised in the County are given. This table shows :— (a) The net number of deaths, that is, the number after correction for “outside” deaths and for deaths of non¬ residents registered, in but not belonging to the district. (b) The net death-rate of the district based upon the net number of deaths, and the population corrected for persons in large institutions situated in the district but not belonging to it. (c) The factors for correction for the age and sex distri¬ bution of the population. These factors have been supplied by the Registrar-General, and are calculated upon the results of the last census. By applying this factor to the net or true death-rate of a district, the influence of any peculiarities in the age and sex distribution of an area is done away with, and the rate obtained is thus comparable with that of other districts.
