A comparison of the corrected and uncorrected birth-rates, and of
the death-rates of infants under one year of age, is made in the
tables following this part of the Report.
It will be noted that, the total number of births is again less than
in previous years.
The birth-rate calculated on the number of married women in
Westminster, distinguishing the legitimate and illegitimate, shows more
exact rates. The number of married women between the ages of 15 and
45 in Westminster is estimated to be 17,865, and the unmarried and
widows at the same age-period 38,119.
