Births in 1920.

The number of births registered in 1920 (29,934) is easily a record, being 1,425 in excess of the previous highest figure (28,509 in 1916), and 5,451 more than the abnormally low total for 1919 (24,483). Nevertheless, the rate for 1920 (25.38 per 1,000 of mean population) is the fourth lowest on record, being higher than the rates for the years 1915, 1918, and 1919 only.

The following statement giving the figures for each quarter of the last three years discloses that the improvement shown for the first nine months of 1920 was not entirely maintained in the last quarter of the year:—

Quarter ended

      1. 31st March 6,354 6,061 7,522
        30th June 6,647 6,136 7,406
        30th September 6,526 5,832 7,684
        31st December 6,333 6,454 7,322

Deaths in 1920.

With the exception of the year 1918 (when the deaths were increased by 50 per cent. on account of the influenza epidemic of the last quarter), the number of deaths registered in 1920 is the highest on record. The rate per 1,000 of mean population (10.27) is also somewhat above the average of recent years, and is indeed higher than in any of the ten years 1908–1917.
