* For the purpose of this table the Births registered in London have been corrected by distributing
those which occurred in the principal institutions treating maternity cases to the boroughs
in which the mothers resided. In 1,088 cases the residence was outside the County of London and
these cases have been excluded. On the other hand 31 births that occurred outside the County have
been included. With regard to the Deaths of London residents, all transferable deaths (i.e., those of
persons who, having a fixed or usual residence in England and Wales, die in a district other than
that in which they resided) occurring in greater London and in certain Metropolitan Institutions
outside Greater London have been distributed to the Metropolitan Borough to which the deceased
belonged. Of the deaths registered in London the previous residence was outside the county in
3,299 cases, while on the other hand the deaths of 2,826 London residents occurred in the Outer Ring
or in Metropolitan Institutions outside Greater London.
