* The changes are due to a revision of the Registrar-General's estimate of the age distribution of the population in 1946, made after the tables which appeared in the last number of the Journal had gone to press.
The Registrar-General has also published revised estimates of the age distributions of the population between 1931 and 1939, based on the ages recorded at national registration in September 1939. These revised estimates affect to a minor extent the figures in Tables 3 and 4 for the years 1933 to 1938, the adjustments in nearly all cases being well below one half per cent of the values shown. For women aged 65 and over, however, the adjustments rise to as much as two per cent in 1937 and 1938. The effect on the graphs on p. 106 is inappreciable. Figures on the revised basis will be prepared for the next issue of the Journal.
