The death-rate was thus 1.51 above the rate for 1910, and '46
above the decennial average.
The rate in all the sub-districts was higher than in the previous
year, and only in Putney was it lower than the decennial average.
The lower rate in Putney was due to the fact that the epidemic
of Measles which was present in the other sub-districts did not extend
to Putney, only three deaths having occurred in that sub-district.
Notification of Infectious Diseases.
The total number of cases of infectious diseases notified
during the year is shown in Table II. of the Local Government
Board's Tables.
The number of cases notified in this Borough for the year
and for the previous 10 years is shown in the following Table,
as also the number above or below the corrected decennial average.
