Legitimate Females 12 405
Illegitimate Males 18 166

THE DEATH-RATE.
The total number of deaths registered during the
year 1913 is 4,476 as compared with yearly averages of
5,669.5 and 4,971.5 respectively during the two decennia
1891-1900 and 1901-1910. Of the total 4,476 deaths registered
during 1913, 2,307 are males and 2,169 females.
The uncorrected death-rate for Lambeth is, therefore,
15.1 per 1,000 inhabitants (16.3 males and 13.9 females).
These rates, are, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing
the 4,476 deaths registered in the Borough, it is
found that 883 represent deaths occurring within
the Borough amongst persons not belonging thereto. These
deaths are to be deducted, but, on the other hand, there
are 687 deaths registered outside the Borough of persons
belonging thereto, and these must be added, giving a
corrected number of deaths for Lambeth during 1913 of
4,280, and a corrected death-rate of 14.4 per 1,000 inhabitants.
