    In comparing Death Rates of different Districts, it is important that the age and sex distribution of the population should be known. This varies considerably, according to the nature of the District, whether rural or manufacturing, and in the future, a factor will be available for bringing these figures into proper comparison with those of England ana Wales. In Sutton Coldfield, our population as regards age and sex, differs but little from the average, and the factor by which we must multiply our Death Rate is -9984. On doing this, I find that the Death Rate corrected would become 10-97. 12. The following table shows the Birth, Death, and Zymotic Death Rates for the past 10 years :— 1904 1905 1900 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 Birth Rate 20-54 19-90 20-62 19-71 17-74 17-06 18-41 19-37 16-8 19-41 Death Rate 10-44 9-19 9-71 8-97 9-50 9-61 9-91 10-53 8-54 10-97 Zymotic Death Rate 0- 39 0-04 0-82 0 34 0-93 0- 65 0-32 0-84 0-48 0-38 13.
