In the foregoing statement it has been necessary to use figures relating to deaths actually
registered in London. In the following table are shown the figures obtained after exclusion of
the deaths of persons, not resident in London, occurring in public institutions within the county,
and the inclusion of the death of Londoners occurring in public institutions belonging to
London, but situated outside the county. It will be observed that the effect of distribution is
to reduce the number of deaths at the earlier ages, and to increase the number at the later ages
shown in the table. The effect of this correction on the death rates is, however, but trifling.
