NOTE:

UNTIL THE NEXT CENSUS HAS BEEN TAKEN IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CALCULATE THE NUMBERS OF DEATHS ON 100,000 A PER MILLE BASIS, BUT THE TWO CURVES RELATING TO AGE DISTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION, AS FOUND IN THE 192) AND 1931 CENSUSES, AFFORD SOME INDICATION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF DEATHS. ITHOULD APPEAR PROBABLE THAT THE AGE DISTRIBUTION IS STILL SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME. THE PEAK OCCURING IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE IS DUE TO THE GREAT NUMBERS OF DEATHS FROM BRONCHO--PNEUMONIA AND ACUTE ENTERITIS. THE RISE IN DEATHS AFTER THE AGE OF 20 WHEN THE POPULATION FOR THE AGE GROUP ZALLS IS LARGELY DUE TO THE GREAT RISK OF DEATH FROM TUBERCULOSIS REINEEN THE AGES OF JO AND 45. SEE TABLE OF ANNEXURE
