Bibliography of Vital Statistics in Australia: a Third List

Abstract

This list brings up to date the references in my “Bibliography of Vital Statistics in Australia and New Zealand” Austral. J. Statist. 6 (1964) 33–99 and the “Bibliography of Vital Statistics in Australia: a second list” ibid (1973) 1–26. The cover of the Journals remains the same as listed on page 33 of the original bibliography and continues up to the end of 1980 in most cases. As mentioned in the second list, there are few references to New Zealand sources because of the publication of the bibliography of Dr. J. W. Donovan. Some references are given to works devoted to the health of the aboriginal population but this field is more completely done by Moodie & Pedersen (1971).
