'* Provisio'nal.<br />
t Data known to be by year of registration rather than by year of<br />
occurrence.<br />
1 Data stated to be complete or virtually complete are coded "C"; those<br />
stated to be affected by irregularities in registration or incomplete<br />
coverage are coded "U".<br />
2 Data exclude live-born infants dying before registration of birth.<br />
3 Data are baptisms recorded in church registers.<br />
4 European, Indian and Coloured (mixed) population, together comprising<br />
about one per cent of the total.<br />
5 Official rates estimated from sample surveys of about 3.6 per cent of<br />
indigenous population; these surveys were discontinued in 1954 because<br />
they were found to be unrepresentative. A new sample of 3<br />
separate strata covering together about 12 per cent of the population<br />
is now in process.<br />
6 Registration believed to be complete for "civilized" population only,<br />
which represents a relatively small proportion of the total.<br />

1 La lettre "C" designe les donnees considerees comme completes au<br />
protiquement completes; 10 lettre "U" les donnees considerees comme<br />
incompletes au faussees par des irregularites d'enregistrement.<br />
2 Non compris les enfants nes vivants et decedes avant I'enregistrement<br />
de leur naissance.<br />
3 O'apres les baptemes inscrits sur les registres des eglises.<br />
4 Europeans, personnes d'origine indienne et personnes de couleur<br />
(metis) representant ensemble 1 pour cent environ de 10 population<br />
totoIe.<br />
5 Estimations officielles etablies d'apres des sondages sur echantillon<br />
d'environ 3,6 pour cent de 10 population indigene; ces sondages ant<br />
ete interrompus en 1954, car II est apparu que I'echantillon n'etait<br />
pas representatif. Un nouvel echantillon de 3 strates distinctes representant<br />
ensemble environ 12 pour cent de 10 population totoIe a ete<br />
constitue pour Ie sandage en cours.<br />
6 L'enregistrement n'est probablement complet que pour 10 population<br />
llcivilisee ll , qui represente une fraction relativement foible de 10 popu·<br />
