These diseases accounted for 163 deaths of children under five years of age.
Out of 101 deaths ascribed to Tetanus 86 were children under one month old and 4 of children over one month and under one year old.
Convulsions accounted for the deaths of 72 children under five years old. Of these none were under one month and 49 over one month and under one year old.
Malaria.
Malarial Fever is not a notifiable disease. The figures and tables given below therefore are compiled from the registers of deaths.
Deaths of Chinese are registered according to the district in which they occur. For this purpose there are five Registration Districts namely Victoria District which includes the Peak and the Harbour, Kowloon District which includes New Kowloon, Shaukiwan, Aberdeen and Stanley Districts.
All Non-Chinese deaths are Registered in Victoria.
It does not follow that, because a death from Malaria is registered in a given district, the infection was acquired in that district.
