BIRTHS AND DEATHS The movement of the population will appear from the figures given below : 1876—1885 1886 —1896 1896—1905 1906—1915 916—1920 1921—1925 926 . . . 927. . . . . a2 . Born living: 31 4 Clo Excess of births: 6.6 %00 i1.5 — 11.9 — .8 — RS 25 — 26.3 12,56 — 26. 1l.e 15.4 — 25.8 125 — 13.3 — 7 oe 10.8 -—-— 14.0 — This table shows a steady decline in the number of births during the past 40 years, accompanied by a still greater fall in the death- rate and an ever growing natural increase of the population, due to the excess of births. The decline in the birth-rate has, however, been very slow, and the number of births is at present comparatively higher in Iceland than in other countries in north-western Europe. Of every 1000 children, born in the years 1920—25, twenty five were still-born. In this number there has, however, been a,steady decline of late (of every 1000 children born during 1886— 95, 36 were still-born). Of children born in Iceland a comparatively greater number is ille- gitimate than in other European countries. In 1921—25 illegitimate births amounted to 13.5 per 100. Vet illegitimate births are compara- tively much fewer now than they were 40 years ago, as the following table will make clear: 1876—1885 . I886—18%5 . {896—1905 . 906—1915 1916—1920 1921-—1925 20.2 p. c. 19.3 — 14.8 — 13.2 — 13.3 13 5 The death-rate in Iceland is at present rather low, compared with ‘he mortality in other countries, and as the above table shows there has been a great decline during the last 40 years. In the years 1926 —28 there have been only 11.5 deaths per 1000 of the population. During the same period the death-rate was lower only in 3 European countries, viz. The Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark. The low death-rate is primarily due to the low mortality amongst
