This is then termed the standard mill inn, since it forms a standard withwhich the populations of other places can*he compared. The standard million, as divided according to the proportions existing inthe years L881—90, is shown in this table:— STANDARD MILLION. FROM SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL 11EP0RT OF THE BIRTHS. Registration ; Still-births ; Birth-rate ; Illegitimate Births ; Proportionof Sexes at Birth. Registration.—Every birth in this country must be registered withinforty-two days, and the register signed by (1) the father or mother of the child ;or, in default thereof, by (2) the occupier of the house in which the birth tookplace ; or (3) by each person present at the birth ; or (4) by the person incharge of the child. There are two chief defects in the registration of births in this country,namely, the age of the parents at the birth of each child is not recorded, andthe order of birth is not given. The birth must be registered at the registrars office, or, on payment of a feeof one shilling, the registrar will attend at a private house to register a birth. It is believed that the number of unregistered births is few. those thatevade registration being most probably illegitimate. Still-births.—These are not registered either as births
