    ICngland and ^Vale.s for 1894 was i6'6 per 1000. It is very satisfactory to be able to report a death-rate lower than any recorded since my appointment in 1877. The year was exceptionally healthy. This, I believe, was very general throughout the country Deaths under 5 years were only 127, as compared with 190 in the previous year.
