Infantile Mortality.
79. The numbers of deaths of infants under one year were:
Chinese
Non-Chinese
Total
9,905

9,924
80. 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 372.42 as compared with 316.36 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,
81. The mortality rate among the non-Chinese was 38.83 as compared with 56.92 in 1935.
