The number of deaths gives a death rate which is rather higher than the average for the country as a whole. This must not be regarded as of any particular significance as the total numbers being small, the average is easily upset by any chance increase or decrease in deaths occurring in any one month as say in January or December, which would influence the rate for one or other calendar year.
