title: Mortality comparisons.
abstract: "Two approaches for mortality comparisons are suggested which produce comparable results.  The cumulative force of mortality has been given an interpretation useful for mortality comparisons.  The method of computing the resultant total expected life span when everyone is excused from death once, twice, etc., has been presented."  The two approaches are then applied to 1966 data for Madagascar and the United States.
