It will be seen that the death rate of all males in the age

somewhat higher than the English rate at this age (10.16), but in the age group 45 to 65 years it was lower in the registration states (23.04) than in England.

In the lower age group the death rates were higher in the registration states than in England among clergymen (registra- tion states 5.88, England 4.64), lawyers (registration states 8.50, England 7.54), apothecaries (registration states 11.47, England 10.58), bakers and confectioners (registration states 11.19, England 8.70), bookbinders (registration states 16.67, England 11.73), and plasterers and whitewashers (registration states 13.20, England 7.79), but were lower in all other occupa- tions specified.

In the higher age group the rates were higher in the registra- tion states among apothecaries (registration states 27.79, Eng- land 25.16), bakers and confectioners (registration states 28.45, England 26.12), tailors (registration states 28.17, England 26.47), an d plasterers and whitewashers (registration states 25.56, England 25.07), and were lower in all other occupations specified.

The comparative mortality figures, computed as described above, are shown in the last two columns. From these it appears that in the registration states the mortality was higher than the standard figure for all males (1000), for musicians and teachers of music ( 1014), apothecaries ( 1099), butchers ( 1080), bakers and confectioners (1101), barbers (1049), bookbinders (1012), and plasterers and whitewashers (1124), and lower than the standard for all other occupations, the rate for those in all occu- pations being represented by 800.

The comparative mortality was also higher in the registration states than in England among clergymen (registration states 574, England 556), apothecaries (registration states 1099, Eng- land 1015), and bakers and confectioners (registration states noi, England 958), but was lower than in England among those in all other occupations specified.
