This is equivalent to 33-10 and 12-60 per cent, respectively. INFANTILE MORTALITY. Of every 1,000 children whose births were registered 144 died before completing the first year of life, compared with 153 in the previous year. This mortality-rate is the lowest of which I have any record, and is considerably lower than that of any during the last twelve years ; the year 1898 coming next with 14-9. This low mortality was observed throughout the country generally, and was in a great measure due to the absence of Diarrhoea, consequent upon the cold and wet summer and autumn. The various Sanitary Districts are tabulated below in order of their Infantile mortality rate :— Aberavon 180-0 Ogmore and Garw ... 180-0 Aberdare ... 171-8 Mountain Ash 162-7 Maesteg 161-0 Margam ... 158-0 Rhondda ... 158-0 Caerphilly ... ... ... . ... ••• i55-o Pontypridd ••• 1547 Merthyr Tydfil •• I53'° Gelligaer and Rhigos... ... 146-0 Llandilo-Talybont Division ... ... 145-0 Pontardawe (East) ... 142-8 Glyncorwg ... 142-3 Pontardawe (West) ... ... 140-0 Neath (Rural)... ... ... ... ... 133-0 Bridgend ... ... ... ... ... 132-65.
