The deaths are from Mr. Windeatt’s returns. 
The chief fact deducible from the returns of death from Phthisis 
in Devon during the ten years 1861-70, is that Phthisis exists 
least where the inhabitants habitually live very much an out-of- 
door life; ¢.g. Western Dartmoor (excluding Prisons), 0°37; North 
Devon, Exmoor region (excluding Ilfracombe), 0°45; against 
England and Wales, 2°47.
