Birth registration in Hong Kong from 1940 to 1947 has been illustrated graphically in the graph G. 25/104 included as Annex J. of this report.
18. The birth rate per mille for 1947 is estimated to be 35.0 as compared with 26.6 in 1946 and 41.9 in 1940.
19. In addition 2,352 post registered births were recorded.
C. Deaths.
