III. DESCRIPTION OF THE TABLES AND THEIR KESVLTS.

In the tables which are deduced from the original observations,

showing the number exposed to risk and number wlio died in each

year of assurance, for each age of entry, and in all tlie subsequent

tables, it must be particularly noticed tliat the age against which

the facts stand is no longer the current age, but the actual age

past. Tlie deaths hi the current year of age, say 41st year, being

between 40 and 41, are set against tlie number “exposed to risk”

at age 40, and so for all other cases.

In order to distinguish the tables easily for quotation in a

report, they have been headed H, for healthy lives, and D, for

diseased lives, with a smaller letter above to denote the sex, thus

H^ Healthy LivesMale.

H3′1 ,, ,, Female.

IP”‘ ,, Male and Female.

pup Diseased LivesMale and Female.

Tlie number ” exposed to risk ” was obtained in the first year

of assurance by taking half the number who entered in the year

of age, less half the number wlio discontinued in tlie same year.

In the second year of assurance it was found by deducting from

the number who entered on the second year of assurance half the

number who discontinued during that yes-ii’. Thus, in Table of
