281 births occurred in Public Institutions in the Borough and are tabulated
initable 6 on page 106.
These are equal to 5.4 per cent. of the total births which took place in the
Borough.
Table 5 on page 105 shows the birth-rate for 1913 of England and Wales,
the County of London, the several Metropolitan Boroughs, and the 30
large towns with a population exceeding 125,000. It should be noted that
the St. Pancras figures are shown in the table on the basis of the RegistrarGeneral's
estimate of the population which, as explained before, differs from
the estimate made in this report.

Of the 5,167 births which were registered in the Borough, 184 or 3.56 per
cent. were returned as illegitimate.
Of the 5,517 births to parishioners within and without the Borough, 259 or
4.69 per cent. were illegitimate. This is the figure which is to be taken as
representing the proportion of illegitimate births in the St. Pancras population.
