ADDENDUM. 



Since writing my paper on " Infantile Mortality" the statistics of 

 two later years — namely, 1876 and 1877 — have come to hand from the 

 different Australasian colonies, and a table embodying the results is 

 appended hereto. 



By comparing the figures in this table with those in Table A it will 

 be observed that the infantile death-rate of South Australia during the 

 two years ended with 1877, although not so low as in some of the years 

 of the previous decenniad — namely, the three years ended with 1871 and 

 the year 1878 — was lower than an average extending over the whole 

 decennial period. 



It will further be remarked that in 1877, for the first time during 

 the twelve years over which the observations extend, another Austral- 

 asian colony had a higher infantile death-rate than South Australia. 

 This colony was Queensland, in which, during that year, 148 infants died 

 per 1,000 births as against 140 per 1,000 births in South Australia.
