ing death rate at 45 to 65 years, and adding together the num- bers so found. For instance, 42,597 lawyers between 25 and 45 years at the death rate of 8.50 per 1000 would give 362 deaths ; and 21,961 between 45 and 65 years at the death rate of 21.68 per 1000 would give 476 deaths, making a total of 838, which represents the mortality of lawyers between 25 and 65 years as compared with the standard mortality of all males of the same ages, which is stated as 1000.

The table given below shows the death rates, at these ages, of all males, of occupied males, and of males in certain occupa- tions in the registration states, with the mortality of those in each class or occupation, computed as above, in comparison with the corresponding results in England.
