Tables F, G, H and I shew the uncorrected returns (male and
female) arranged as to Registration Sub-Districts, age periods,
and quarters respectively, and are given for comparison with
similiar tables in former Lambeth Reports.
The place that the Borough of Lambeth takes amongst the
Metropolitan Sanitary Districts is worthy of note, there being 17
other districts (out of 29) with a less death-rate, 15 with a less
zymotic death-rate, and 11 with a less infant mortality. Taking
the South Metropolitan Districts, Lewisham has a general deathrate
per 1,000 of the population of 11.1, and Wandsworth 12.4,
as compared with Lambeth 15.2, Bermondsey 18.4, and
Southwark 18.1, respectively.
London, as a whole, has a birth-rate of 28.5, corrected deathrate
of 15.2, a zymotic (death ) rate of 1.76 per 1000 population
and an infant mortality of 130 per 1000 births; and England and
Wales a birth-rate of 28.4, a corrected death-rate of 15.4, a
zymotic death-rate of 1.46 per 1000 population, and an infantile
mortality of 132 per 1000 births; and the 76 great towns of
England and Wales a birth-rate of 29.7, a corrected death-rate
of 16.3. a zymotic death-rate of T89, per 1000 population, and an
infantile mortality of 144 per 1000 births.

These results may be compared with those for London given
in Table F, which shows the estimated mortalities per 1000
persons at each age-period for London during 1903 and the London
averages for the 10 years 1881-90.
