Abstract

THE BRITISH MEDICAL 7OURNAL. 837 Table B is constructed from Table A, the results being based on the assumption that the average age-at which medical officers take their first legal qualification is twenty-two. The tables, however, being once constructed, it is only necessary to add to, or subtract from, the final results to arrive at the truth, should twenty-two be considered too high or too low. The average age of the seven hundred and six officers enumerated is 39.89 years-a very important fact, which deserves to be known and appreciated. The average age of the surgeons-general is 59.5, and of the deputy surgeons-general 54.5.-Yours faithfully,
