infection were left at all houses where cases occurred.
There have been several other cases of scarlet fever over the dis-

type of infectious disease has occurred since May.

STATEMENTS OP MORTALITY AND DEATH RATES IN THE
COUNTY.

In the following table are given the death rates of the various
Parishes in the County from 1881 to 1890.
It will be seen that these vary very widely, according to whether
the population is sparse as in Dollar, or dense as in Alloa.
The death rates on the whole are high, 50 per cent. being at or above
17 per thousand, which might be considered a favourable death rate.
