TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
Scanned page images of the original book are available from archive.org, search for sanitarystatisti00nigh. Original spelling and grammar are generally retained, with a few exceptions noted below. Original page numbers look like this: {35}. Footnotes are left near their original locations. The transcriber produced the cover image by editing the original, and hereby places it in the public domain. Quotations extending through more than one line of text were printed with a left-quotation mark at the head of each line. These have been converted to modern quotation style. Ditto marks have been sometimes removed, by replacement of the mark with appropriate text. The book was printed with sidenotes, many which pointed to a specific table in Appendix I. Those which were semantically headings, were converted to h3-level html headings.

Sub-table A1 comprises Colonies Sierra Leone, Western Australia, and Natal. Sub-table A2 covers Ceylon. Sub-table A3 covers Canada. Then each of the three sub-tables was split into two Parts after column 13, with the first column repeated in each Part.
