UNTIL THE NEXT CENSUS HAS BEEN TAKEN IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO

90,000

CALCULATE THE NUMBERS OF DEATHS ON 100,000 A PER MILLE BASIS, BUT THE TWO CURVES RELATING TO AGE DISTRIBUTION OF THE POPULATION, ASFOUND IN THE 1921 AND 1931 CENSUSES, AFFORD SOME INDICATION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF DEATHS. IT WOULD APPEAR PROBABLE THAT THE AGEDUSTRI 8077ON 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 FALLS IS LARGELY DUE TO THE GREAT RISK OF DEATH FROM TUBERCULOSIS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 AND 45. SEE TABLE OF ANNEXURE
