    Medical Officer of Health, For the Year ended December 31st, 1928. Section I.—Area and Population. Area. In the Census Report of 1911 this is given as 640,823 acres and in the Census Report 1921 as 640,791 acres. The present acreage, after the Wallasey and Birken¬ head extensions, is 636,740. Note.—The Registrar-General supplies this Depart¬ ment and the Medical Officers of Health with certain figures direct, and the information given in this Report is based on such figures. Some Medical Officers do not accept the figures supplied by the Registrar-General, and their birth and death-rates do not coincide with the figures in my Reports, but I am, of course, bound to adopt the official figures. In the Table accompanying this Report particulars relating to population, area, births, deaths, &c., are given for each District separately and for the County as a whole. A brief reference may be made to the more important of these figures. Population. The population of the Administrative County, as enumerated at the Census of 1921, was 625,001. The estimate of the Registrar-General for 1928 is:—- 6 Municipal Boroughs. 170,940 33 Other Urban Districts. 285,600 12 Rural Districts.206,740 663,280 B
