Infantile
mortality in
large English
towns.
London had therefore in the period 1906-10 a lower infantile mortality than any of these towns
except Bristol and Portsmouth. In 1911 the London rate was below all except that of Portsmouth.

uncorrected London rate for 1911 was 131.

Table: The rate for New York is somewhat overstated for the period 1906-10, owing to the incomplete registration of births prior to 1908.
