the bulk of the assurances are in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

ber, 1868, was £241,401 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
