We should therefore be justified inlooking for a certain correspondence between the proportions• This should be read 0 and under 5. Diagram Shewing Proportion of Survivors afterTen Years Time. J^^-Tables of Proportions on Paces l50 & 151 of females who might be expected to survive, according tothe Life Table, and those proportional figures which representa comparison of the census figures of 1861 with those of1851. In point of fact, we discover that, at ages 10—20, theproportions who should survive the next ten years, accordingto the Life Table, are far exceeded by those who apparentlydo survive ; and this state of things in the next ten years isreversed. So that the figures suggest a faulty return of theages of the female population, exaggerating the numbers aged20 — 30, and perhaps depressing those aged 30—40. Again, we have reason to believe that some of the childrenunder five years old are returned as being fully of that age,whilst next to none who have attained five years of age wouldbe returned as being younger. This would account for thedissimilarity of the ratios of survivors at the earliest periodof life. By assuming, as
