The periods under review were selected according to the availability of suitable material. Before the year 1907 and during the years of the Great War the number of deaths divided into suitable age-groups are not readily obtainable. The years immediately following the end of the war were considered to be unsuitable owing to the occurrence of epidemics of influenza.

SummaryThe quarterly distribution of births of patients born in England and Wales 1921–60 and first admitted in 1970–75 was examined by decade of birth and by age at year of admission. For patients with schizophrenia and affective psychosis, the distribution varied: in the early decade (1921–30), and for older patients (45–54 years) the proportion of births in the fourth quarter of the year was high, compared with expectation from live births in the general population; but it became lower in succeeding decades and for younger age groups. No comparable change occurred for births of patients with neurosis or personality disorder.

SynopsisThe paper is based on the analysis of the causes of death in 10,000 claims which occurred in the quinquennium 1943-1947 in six life offices, three Scottish and three English.These claims are subdivided into two classes of lives, those who reached and those who failed to reach their expectation.The causes of death are arranged in most cases as in the Registrar-General's annual review of England and Wales, and are tabulated in age groups.The increased incidence of some diseases and the decline or disappearance of others are touched upon, whilst special reference is made to the heavy toll exacted by cardio-vascular disease and by cancer.Deaths due directly to the War, both civilian and in the Services, are included in the total number of claims but are omitted from statistical calculations. This applies also to all deaths of female policyholders. A brief reference is made to the relative mortality from certain diseases in those lives who reached their expectations and those who failed to reach it. It is suggested that greater leniency might be extended in certain types of disorders for which proposers are usually rated up, since deaths from such ailments seldom occur.

AbstractRevision of the early estimates of the extent of labour shortages in agriculture during the Great War suggest that, for England and Wales, labour was more plentiful than contemporaries asserted. However national averages disguise important regional variations. Using newly discovered material from a District Committee of the Westmorland County Agricultural Executive, supplemented with contemporary commentary and reports, this article investigates farm labour shortages in the uplands. It considers labour supply and shows that assumptions about the level of recruitment of farmers and their families and about the availability of substitutes as used in revisionist estimates cannot be supported here. It then shows that the ‘plough up campaign’ imposed by Government increased labour demand in the uplands to a greater extent than in other regions. This combination of reduced supply and increased demand served to exacerbate existing labour shortages and resulted in labour shortages that were more severe than is suggested by the revisionist figures for England and Wales.
