The Geographical Distribution of Heart Disease and Dropsy in the Registration Counties. England and WALES are divided into 53 registration counties, of these 27 are coastal, the remaining 26 being more or less inland, and divisible into inland and midland. Of the 27 coastal counties 16 have a low rate, and 11 a high rate of mortality. It will be our duty, in the next place, to see the position of these several counties in the divisions we have been discussing. In the Northern Counties Division (X.) the county of Durham stands out conspicuously as having a low mortality, and it will be remembered that at the River Tyne the geological character of the country and the direction of the rivers and valleys changed Relative Mortality of the Registration Counties. Northern Coastal Counties.
