Scotland the female mortality was higher in the urban than in the rural 
area, while in England it was lower. The rural female rate in Scotland is 
higher than that in England and Wales, but lower than the urban female 
rate in Scotland. In England and Wales the rural and urban female rates 
are nearly the same, with a tendency recently to an excess in the former. 
Mortality at different Age Periods. — Plate V. shows the mortality at age 
periods in rural and urban areas in Scotland and in England and Wales 
for 1891 to 1907. 
Mortality among Females. — The mortality up to 35-45 years is greater 
in Scotland than in England and Wales, both in the urban and rural 
areas. While it was greater in Scotland from 10-15 to 25-35 in the urban 
than in the rural area during 1891-1900, and was practically the same 
in both during 1901-7, it was smaller in England and Wales between 
these age periods in the urban than in the rural area from 1891-1907. 
F urther, the maximum mortality was always at an earlier age period in 
the rural area in England and Wales and in Scotland till 1906-7, when it 
was the same as in the urban. 
Mortality among Males. — In both countries the age period of maximum
