Notes 011 the foregoing Tables. 

 I. General. 



The following calculations will show better what the figures on 

 page 235 mean. On the average of the past three years, taking 

 into consideration the different numbers of animals in each year, 

 the figures for 1911 should have been, roughly: — 



Total deaths 2020 



Percentage of total deaths 36 



Ditto, excluding those animals which 

 had not been six months in the 



Gardens 20 



So that the improvement is really much greater than appears 

 from the mere figure-statement.
