While the figures in Table VI show the relative mortality of males in each specified occupation in comparison with the average mortality of all males, and indicate the relative mortal- ity in each occupation in comparison with the others, the latter is better shown by taking the mortality of the total occupied males, computed in the same way, as the standard of comparison, and this is done in Table VII for the registration states which gives results for males between 25 and 65 years of age according to both standards, and for a more extended list of occupations.
