In the three dry years the average mortality was 73:5, and in 
the five wet years about 71, in neither case greatly different from 
the average of the whole period, which was about 74. 
For further satisfaction, however, I have prepared the following 
tables, contrasting years of low mortality, less than 50 per 
100,000, with years of high mortality over 90 per 100,000.
