Table 9 - Movement of infant and childhood mortality in State of New York: showing annual number of births registered, deaths at all ages, deaths of infants under one year of age, deaths under five years, infant mortality rate, and percentage of all deaths occurring under one year and under five years of age: 1885–1917

* Deaths under one year were not compiled separately until 1904. The registration of births was very incomplete for the early years and can scarcely be taken as approximately complete prior to 1908. On this account even for later years the infant mortality (i. e. ratio of deaths under one year per 1,000 living births) is too high.

Table 10 Movement of infant and childhood mortality in New York City and rest of New York State: showing annual number of births registered, birth rates, deaths at all ages, deaths under one year of age and under five years, and infant mortality rate: 1905-1917

* Registration of births known to be incomplete until recent years, particularly in the State outside of New York City. Consequently recorded birth rates in earlier years for rest of State arc too low and corresponding infant mortality rates (ratio of deaths under 1 year per 1,000 living births) too high.

* Population estimates based upon U. S. censuses of 1900 and 1910 for New York City and on U. S. census of 1910 and State census of 1915 for remainder of State.

(Also revised death rates for certain cities with large State institutions, after the exclusion of deaths in those institutions.)

Rural," as used in this table, includes all territory outside the 57 upstate cities and 3 large villages here listed.

Cities in which State institutions are located, deaths of the latter being included to allow of comparability with other places or periods. Revised rates for 1917 excluding these deaths are shown in last column of this table page 413.

† Certain cities for which a decrease was shown in populalion from 1910 to 1915 are represented by rates based on the State census, 1915.
