    In the event of a non-resident being admitted to any of the following Institutions situated in the City, viz., Rad- cliffe Infirmary, Eye Hospital, City Hospital, St. John’s Hospital, or the Warneford Asylum, and dying there, the death is excluded, while the death of an Oxford resident occurring in the Small Pox Hospital, Headington Work- house, or Littlemore Asylum, which are not in the City, is included in the nett death-rate. The age and sex distribution is slightly more favourable to life in Oxford than it is in England and Wales as a whole, and for purposes of comparison, the Oxford death- rate should be multiplied by i’026. The following is a list of the tables dealing with the Vital Statistics of the City :— I. Population, &c., at time of 1901 Census.
