STATISTICS FOR 1891.

For 1891 only two parishes have sent in Returns complete for six
months - Kennoway and Markinch. Kennoway shows a very high
death-rate - 40. per 1000, but the mean age at death was also high.
Phthisis caused 1.3 per 1000 of population.
Markinch death-rate is also very high - 22.8 per 1000; zymotics
1.5, and phthisis 1.2. The epidemic of influenza accounts to a certain
extent for these high death-rates.
