To reconcile with these mean rates of mortality the death-rate 
of 17-53 per 1000, which has been shown to be the average 
mortality of the most healthy rural sub-districts, it is neces- 
sary to state that the several registration districts tabulated above 
include all towns situated within their limits, the death-rates 
of which, varying from 21 to 33 per 1000, are much higher 
than the mortality of the rural districts by which they are sur- 
rounded, and that the 63 healthy sub-districts referred to were 
selected from the face of the whole country. 
The three healthiest registration districts in the kingdom, 
it will be observed, are the South-Eastern, the South Midland, 
and the South- Western, the several death-rates of which are the 
same, i.e. 20 per 1000, and this rate, it will be remembered, 
agrees with the mean mortality of the country districts when 
taken by themselves, viz., 2010 per 1000. Within these three 
healthiest registration districts there are 28 towns * of consider- 
* Besides the suburbs of London — extra-metropolitan — there are the following 
28 important town sub-districts included iu the South-Eastern, South-Midland, 
and South- Western registration districts.
