Year. Non-Chinese. Chinese. 1919 20.6 3.9 1920 19.78 3.96 1921 25.88 5.68 1922 22.84 6.25 1923 23.03 6.97 1924 19.8 5.47 1925 22.6 4.25 1926 19.21 4.18 1927 19.6 8.2 1928 17.7 9.2IV. DEATHS (GENERAL)
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.
For the sake of administration and reference, Victoria City is divided into 10 Health Districts and Kowloon into 7. In many of the following figures, the major portion of the New Territories is excluded. Minor villages on the Island are included in either Aberdeen or Stanley districts and the Harbour Population embraces all the permanently floating population who have no other fixed abode but their boats.
The dumping of dead bodies in the streets or outside charitable Institutions provides a large number of "Unknowns"
