There were 27 deaths registered, 12 males and 15 females, giving a death rate of 127 per thousand, last year’s death rate was 10-2 per thousand. This is the corrected death-rate. One death by drownino- of a non-resident occurred in our district, and a death occurred in the Chesterfield Workhouse of a resident in our district. Six of the deaths occured in children under one year, 3 between the ages i and 10, 2 between 30 and 40, 5 between 60 and 70, 6 between the ages 70 and 80, and one over 90. The average age at death including those under i year is 55*3 years. Infantile Mortality. Of the deaths under i year. The causes of death were as follows I Acute Bronchitis. I Broncho Pneumonia. I Gastro Enteritis. I Congenital Heart Disease, I Atelectasis. I Premature Birth. The Infantile Mortality is 133*3 as compared with 105 of 1910, the average for the last 10 years 1901-1910 being 102. We have not so far adopted the Notification of Births Act (1907) and I agree with my predecessor that in a district like ours it would be of little benefit. No deaths of illegitimate children occured during the year.
