calculation, the estimated population for the Parish does
not correspond accurately with the estimated populations of
the sub-districts. This discrepancy (which is unimportant) is
due to the fact that each sub-district has had its population

1881 and 1891 —a mode of calculation which, though in
principle strictly correct, does not allow of accurate
correspondence.

in the Parish and its sub-districts during the years 1893 and
1894. It will be observed that in the latter year the births

there was an increase of 14; but in Camberwell a fallingoff
of 8; in Peckham a falling-off of 57; and in St.
George's a falling-off of 36.
