It now becomes necessary to examine in detail the deaths from the
several Zymotic Diseases and to contract their present behaviour with
that in past years in the Parish, as well as with the mortality which
they caused in other populous places during the year under consideration.

against an annual average, corrected for increase of population for
eleven years, of 14. This death occurred in the third quarter of the
year, and in the sub-registration district of Upper Holloway. The
patient, a male, aged eight years, was unvaccinated.
