Excerpt
Sir, I have the honor to transmit herewith the eighth annual report on mortality statistics covering the registration area of the United States for the year 1907’. No additions were made to the registration area for the year 1907, so that the death rates for this year can be compared directly with those for 1906 without allowance for increase of territory. I am pleased to say, however, that it has been found possible to admit two new registration states, Washington and Wisconsti, to the registration area for the present year, 1908. This addition will increase the estimated population belongu to the registration area so that it will, for the first time, constitute a majority (51.6 per cent) of the total population of continental United States.
