The gradual decline since 1886 is apparent, and 1913 shares with 1910 the distinction of being below 28 per 1000. The percentage of illegitimate births is 4'8, a decidedly low and satisfactory figure. Still-Births.—I am indebted to the Registrar for the informa¬ tion that during 1913, 16 still-births were interred in the cemetery. Notification of Births Act.—During the year 555 births or 99 per cent of the total were notified to the Medical Officer of Health. DEATHS. With regard to the other columns of the foregoing table I append the following definitions : The birth-rate and death-rate are calculated per 1,000 living of the population.
