POPULATION.

1 death per 27*56 : 32,969 females, and 5,924 deaths, or an 

 average of 987-33, or 1 death per 33. 



By reference to Table No. 9, we have the following results, as 

 regards the influence of months on the general mortality : first 

 quarter, 3, 110; second quarter, 3,541 ; third quarter, 4,123 ; fourth 

 quarter, 3,134 : so that the months of the third quarter, or July, 

 August, and September, present a greater mortality than the 

 others. Next in ratio are June, May, and April, of the second 

 quarter, whilst the first quarter, consisting of January, February, 

 and March, exhibits the least mortality. My own researches 

 have led me to the following results : 



No. 11. TABLE OP THE MONTHLY MORTALITY. 



The months presenting the greatest mortality are July, No- 

 vember, March, April, August, and June. It follows from the 

 above returns, taken at various periods, that the most unhealthy 

 months would be July, August, April, and June. 



The following tables will show the influence of age on the 

 mortality. The returns are for the town of Port of Spain, 

 singly, and for the towns of Port of Spain and San Fernando, 

 jointly:
