 deaths in Dundee during the years 1839, 1840, and 184-1, is 2130, and the 

 female deaths 2195. And by referring to the Dundee Mortality Bills, it will 

 be found that the male deaths, during 1837 and 1838, amounted to 1594, and 

 the female deaths during these two years to 1624 ; the whole amount of male 

 deaths, during these five years in Dundee, is therefore 3724, aud the female 

 deaths 3819 ; being in the proportion of 102*551 females to 100 males. 



The average annual amount of male deaths during these five years, ending 

 with 1841, is 744|, and the female deaths 763f, while the males living in 

 1841 is 28,311, and the females 33,229; being in the proportion of 117"37 

 females to every 100 males. 

 The average annual number of male deaths, 



compared to the number of males living in 



1841, is therefore as 1 to 38*011, or 2*630 per cent. 



And the average annual number of female 



deaths, to the females living in the same 



year, as 1 to 43*504, or 2-298 per cent.

The female life in the town of Dundee is therefore better than the male 

 life by 0*332 per cent. The number of female deaths is greater than the 

 number of male deaths by 2*551 per cent.
