[161a in 1920 revised list.] Premature births (still-born) should be classed under still-births, and should not be included in total deaths. When a premature birth is reported as ‘‘still- born” and an inconsistent statement of age (days, hours, minutes) is also given, the registrar should endeavor to secure a statement that will enable the case to be classed with certainty either as a still- birth or as a death. If no additional information can be obtained, the statement of age should govern, and a case be compiled as a death, not as a still- birth. When a premature birth is reported with no statement of age (space left blank), the local reg- istrar should endeavor to obtain a statement of age, or at least that the child was born alive; but in the absence of any further data the case should be compiled as a still-birth. The rules and assignments given under the head “Still-birth” may be compared, together with the specific assignments indicated by the following list: Abortion (child, dead at birth) Still-birth (child, not dead at birth) 16la Immature birth (child, dead at birth) Still-birth (child, not dead at birth, —ly) I6la (child, not dead at birth, ly+) 205a Miscarriage (child, dead at birth) Still-birth (child, not dead at birth) 16la Premature birth (child, dead at birth) S¢till-birth (child, not dead at birth, —ly) (child, not dead at birth, ly+) Prematurity (child, dead at birth) Still-birth (child, not dead at birth, —ly) (child, not dead at birth, ly+) 16la 2052, 16la 205a ~
