In order to ascertain the results at different periods of the year, with 

 regard to most of the above calculations, I divided the years into quar- 

 ters, as given in the succeeding table : — 



The total number of children still-horn in the Dublin Lying-in Ho- 

 spital during the seven years the medical charge was intrusted to me, 

 was one thousand one hundred and twenty-one ; thus eighty-four occurred 

 in Jemuarv, and so on. 



The following statement with respect to children dying in the Ho- 

 spital, exhibits a similarly near approach at all seasons of the 3'ear ; thus, 

 of the total number, 284, 26 died in January, &c. 



The following table shows the periods at which the several women 

 died, during my residence in the Hospital. The total number was one 

 hundred and sixty-four ; of these eighteen died in January, &c.
