The nationality of the civil Non-Chinese deaths was follows:-
British 68, Indian 57, Portuguese 56, Filipino 10, American 6, Malay 7, Danish 5, French 2, Annamite 3, Spanish 1, German 1, Swiss 3, Jewish 2, Norwegian 2, Dutch 2, Italian 1, Australian 1, West Indian 1, Cuban 1.
Age distribution of deaths.
The number of deaths of children under one year of age was 4,735 of which 4,698 were Chinese and 37 Non-Chinese.
Of these 1,131 Chinese and 7 Non-Chinese were under one month of age.
The ratio of infant deaths to the total deaths registered was 30.4 per cent (29.5 in 1923). For Chinese deaths alone the ratio was 30.7 per cent, while for the Non-Chinese it was 14.6 per cent.
A true infantile mortality can not be calculated, owing to the Chinese custom of not registering births unless a child has lived for at least one month and often obviously of not registering at any time.
The deaths of children between one and five years of age were 2,372 of which 20 were Non-Chinese and 2,352 Chinese.
The following table shows the death rates for the last ten years.
