** Rates for some years in this series are computed on frequencies less
than 50.
t Rates known to be by year of registration rather than by year of
occurrence.
1 Rates stated to be complete or virtually complete are coded "C"; those
stated to be affected by irregularities in registration or incomplete
coverage are coded "UII.
2 Rates exclude deaths of infants dying before registration of birth.
3 Not computed by the Statistical Office of the United Nations.
28 Inclusion of deaths of infants dying before registration of birth, which
are registered as "stillbirths" although they are known to have
breathed, produces rates of 13.9, 15.1 and 13.2 for 1951, 1952 and
1953. Inclusion of an additional number of "stillbirths" whose ability
to breathe was not reported would increase rates to 14.9, 15.5 and
14.0.
29 Prior to 1939, rates exclude deaths of infants dying before registration
of birth.
30 Registration estimated to be 75-85 per cent complete.
31 Rates for the years 1947-1952 are by year of occurrence.
32 Unusually high rate attributable to effect of hurricane.
33 Inclusion of deaths of infants dying before registration of birth, which
are registered as "stillbirths" although they are known to have
breathed, produces rates of 15.2, 14.3 and 10.9 for 1951, 1952 and
1953. Inclusion of on additional number of "stillbirths" whose ability
to breathe was not reported would increase rates to 16.0, 14.8 and
11.2.

** Dons cette serie, les taux pour certaines annees ont ete calcules sur la
base d'un nombre de deces inferieur a 50.
t Statistiques etablies selon I'annee de I'enregistrement et non I'annee
de I'evenement.
1 La lettre "c" designe les donnees considerees comme completes ou
pratiquement completes; 10 lettre "U" les donnees considerees comme
incompletes ou faussees par des irregularih's d'enregistrement.
2 Non compris les enfants decedes avant I'enregistrement de leur naissance.
3 Ce taux n'a pas ete calcule par Ie Bureau de statistique des Notions
Unies.
28Si I'on compte les enfants decedes avant I'enregistrement de leur naissance
et inscrits comme "mort-ntis", bien quia" sache qu'ils ont respire,
on obtient les taux suivants : 13,9, 15,1 et 13,2 respectivement pour
les annees 1951, 1952 et 1953. Si I'on compte egalement un certain
nombre d'autres IImort·nes Jl , dont on ignore s/jls ont respire, on obtient
alors des taux de 14,9, 15,5 et 14,0 respectivement.
29 Pour les annees anterieures a 1939, non compris les enfants decedes
avant I'enregistrement de leur naissance.
30 L'enregistrement porterait sur 75-85 pour cent des deces.
31 Pour les annees 1947-1952, les statistiques sont etablies selon I'annee
de I'evenement.
32 Taux anormalement eleve qui s'expliquerait par les effets d'un ouragan.
33Si I'on compte les enfants decedes avant I'enregistrement de leur
naissance et inscrits comme IImort.nes", bien quia" sache qu'ils ant
respire, on obtient les taux suivants : 15,2, 14,3 et 10,9 respectivement
pour les annees 1951, 1952 et 1953. Si I'on compte egalement un
certain nombre d'autres "mort-nes", dont on ignore s/ils ont respire,
on obtient alors des taux de 16,0, 14,8 et 11,2 respectivement.
