tricts." The Small Town Districts of the county are Kirkin-
tilloch, East Kilpatrick, Bonhill, Cardross, Renton, and Row. The
Rural Districts are Cumbernauld, West Kilpatrick,* Roseneath,
Cove and Kilcreggan, Luss, Kilmaronock, and Arrochar. Dum-
barton is a "Large Town District," and is not included in the
following tables.
Table XI. contains a statement of the estimated population
and of the total deaths in the Small Town Districts and the Rural
Districts respectively in each of the five years, 1885-1889.
Table XII. is based on Table XI. It gives, not the actual
deaths, but the death-rates, and, to avoid decimals, these have
been calculated per 100,000 of the population, instead of per 1000.
The chief use of these tables will be to form a standard by
which to measure the health of future years; but it may be
interesting in the meantime to insert for comparison with Table
XII. the corresponding facts for the Small Town Districts and
Mainland-Rural Districts of all Scotland. Table XIII. contains
these facts.

* These groupings are only re-arranged at decennial periods by the
Registrar-General. From 1891 onwards West Kilpatrick will be a
"Small Town" district, owing to its containing Clydebank.
