The birth-rate, calculated from the total number of births, and
the foregoing estimate of population, was 34.4, against 33 0 in 1892.
The natural increase of population, that is: the excess of births
over deaths was 1,142, that for 1892 being 1,192, and for 1891, 1,448.

The number of deaths was 1,429, of these 706 were males and

in public institutions, of patients who came from districts outside Tottenham.
On the estimated population of 75,000 the 1,229 deaths give
an annual rate of mortality of 16 3, against 16 8 in 1892.

Under 1 year 379
From 1 to 5 years 300
