In dealing separately with the sub-districts as above, it will be seen
by referring to Tables I., II., and III., that in considering the deaths of
non-residents and those from outlying institutions, certain additions and
deductions from the sub-districts have to be made in respect of themselves,
but when considering the Borough as a whole, then from the 2,396
deaths which were registered there must be deducted 480 deaths of actual
non-residents, and 456 deaths in institutions entirely outlying must be
added, making a total for the Borough of 2.372 upon which the death
rate is calculated.

Totals.
Poplar 470 396 866
Bromley 491 442 933
Bow 300 273 573
Totals 261 1,111 2,372
The 866 deaths in Poplar included 6 illegitimate children, 1 male
and 5 female; the 933 deaths in Bromley included 3 illegitimate
children, 3 female; the 573 Bow deaths included 2 illegitimate
children, 2 males, making a total for the Borough of 11 deaths of
illegitimate children, 3 male and 8 female.
The male births belonging to the Borough exceeded those of the
female by 141, and the male deaths exceeded those of the female by 150
making a gain of 9 females.

It should be borne in mind that, in studying death rates, comparison
should be made with those of districts the inhabitants of which exist
under similar conditions. See Table XVII., page 41, East Districts.
