have included the Rape of Chichester, in Sussex, (exclusive of the city of Chichester,) a purely agricultural district, containing 13,483 females, all of whom belong to country parishes, with the exception of 691 in the small town of Midhurst. The totals exhibited by this Table is as follows:─
| Proportion of Females above 10 years of age. | |
| In all England | 755 |
| In the Rape of Chichester, | 820 |
| In the county of Cornwall, | B63 |
| In the fifteen agricultural parishes of the Landsend, | 949 |
| In the three agricultural parishes of the Landsend, | 1092 |
In conclusion, I think, after the preceding investigation, we are forced to concede to the inhabitants of the Landsend District, when exempted -from extraordinary causes of disease, the privilege of uncommon longevity, claimed for them by their native topographers.
N.B.─Chap. II. containing the Medical History of the Inhabitants, will be published on a future occasion.
