Of the 4,653 corrected deaths, 683 are infants under one year
of age. The total number of registered births is 7,878, and, of
these, 360 occurred at the Lying-in Hospital, and belong to districts
outside Lambeth Borough, 25 occurred at the Workhouse, and
belong to districts outside Lambeth Borough, and 362 occurred
at the Maternity Hospital and belong to districts outside Lambeth
Borough. In this way, the corrected number of births for the
Borough is 7,131*. The corrected infantile mortality (i.e., rate
of corrected deaths under one year per 1,000 corrected births)

mortality, it must be remembered that, whilst the births
that belong to outside districts, are subtracted, the births
of infants of Lambethian mothers who may happen to be
residing outside the Borough at the times of such births are not
*The Registrar-General returns the corrected number of births for the
Borough during 1915 as 6573.
