556 MR. PRESTON’S NOTES ON THE NORFOLK FLOOD. 
The death-rate, according to the returns, was remarkably low ; 
that of the week ending August 31st was 10'6 per 1000, against 
20'2 in the corresponding week of the fine Summer of 1911; 
for the week ending September 7th it was 13'5, against 21‘8 in 
1911, and for the week ending September 14th only 7'7, against 
19‘7 in 1911. I am much indebted to Dr. Mill for allowing me 
to illustrate this paper with a reproduction of his admirable map 
showing the rainfall of the district during this disastrous flood, 
as well as to the Royal Meteorological Society, for whom the 
map was originally prepared. My thanks are also due to Mr. 
Collins for furnishing me with the accompanying table of 
heights of previous floods at Norwich.
