Registration districts. Population. No. of death registered. Shatin 4,346 16 Taipo 12,684 14 Sha Tau Kok 8,941 2 Sheung Shu 10,208 11 Lok Ma Chau 4,377 Au Tau 12,877 Ping Shan 12,660 6 Sai Kung 7,585 3 Total of population for New Territories 99,776 Southern Territory Registration districts. Tsun Wan 5,355 40 Cheung Chau 5,477 122 Tai O (Lantau Island) 7,409 87 99

The fact that the death rate on the above figures works out at only 3 per mille population shows that approximately only one tenth of the deaths were registered.

Birth registration is not complete. Though every facility has been given for registration a considerable number of births are never registered and this is especially noticeable in the case of females.

Births and Deaths Office, Medical Dept. for all races.
