computed by deducting the deaths under one year, in a ward, from the
number of births in the same ward for the same year. For details of this

"An analysis of the figures of the Jukes in regard to the birth-rate
shows that of a total of 403 married Juke women, 330 reproduced one or
more children and 73 were barren. The average fecundity, counting those
who are barren, is 3.526 children per female. The 330 women having
children have an average fecundity of 4.306 as compared with that of
4.025, based on 120 reproducing women in the Nam family."--Estabrook, A.
