OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, BOSTON, Oct. 28, 1897.

To the Honorable Senate

and the House of Representatives.

I have the honor to submit herewith, as required by law, the Fifty-fifth Annual Registration Report, relating to the births, marriages and deaths occurring in Massachusetts and registered in the several cities and towns during the year ending Dec. 31, 1896; and containing, also, the reports relating to libels for divorce in the several counties, and the returns of deaths the causes and manner of which have been investigated by the medical examiners during the year 1896.

The rule adopted in the report of 1891 of restricting the exhibition of tabular results to such as are plainly of practical utility within the meaning of the statute by authority of which the tables are prepared, is continued, and the report is again edited by FRANCIS A. HARRIS, M.D.

Very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,
