Extract

After completing the work of reference, in which tables were constructed reflecting the mortality of England and Wales over the years 1970 to 1972, the authors received the corresponding data for Scotland. The purpose of the present note is to describe briefly the results of our experiments in graduating these Scottish data. The technical details of the procedures used are virtually identical with those described in reference and accordingly in this paper we give only an outline of our methods. Finally, some comparisons are made between the results of the present work and those relating to England and Wales.
