Infantile Mortality.

78. If the figures for the Chinese births registered represented the total births, which they do not, the infantile mortality rate for this race would be 316.36 as compared with 347.34 which was the equally incorrect rate for the previous year. Allowing that only one third of the births are registered this would still mean a very high infantile mortality figure.
