The death-mte in the provinces of the Dominion ranges between
5.4 to 21.7 per 1,000 Bince 1911. Nevertheless comparisons must not
be established between different parts of the country without taking
into consideration the various elements forming the populat.ion. Certain
provinces inhabited by robust immigTants, relatively young, 'will natu-
rally show a lower death-rate than provinces having a higher percentage
of aged persons, Saskatl;hewan for instance has a much lowel' death-rate
than the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia, but it will be
noted that the number of persons of sixtY years is very much less
in the Western province than in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia. In
the Province of Quebec 60. 9 of the deaths were amongst persons of
over 70 years and over and of children under 5, in 1926,

48-Proporlion of dealha per 1,000 inhabitanls in the Canadian provinces.
