The number of deaths occurring in the Lunatic Asylums
amounted to 68. After all these allowances and calculations
have been made it is found that the death-rate for Camberwell
is 16.54 per 1,000, a diminution of 1.l4 on the 1899 rate.
There is a decrease in each of the sub-districts, especially
in Camberwell and Peckham. The real decrease, however,
both in this and in the birth-rate is not so great, because of
the population being estimated on the basis of its conforming
to the rate of increase in the years 1891-6. The Registrar-

General's estimate of our death-rate is 16.3. As a rule his
estimate is below mine, and this is probably due to the fact that
he excludes some of the deaths of those who have occurred in
outside institutions as deaths of inhabitants of Camberwell, and
which are included in my report. As in last year, I give the death-
rate of the South London parishes. It will be seen that
Camberwell is now fourth on the list, whereas in 1899 it took
the sixth place.
