Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
27
It will bo seen from the foregoing table that in the period 1006-10 the diphtheria death-rate
was highest in Fulham and Stepney (0.21) and lowest in Stoke Newington (0.06); in the year 1911,
Poplar (0.27) had the highest death-rate, and St. Marylebone (0.04) the lowest. The diphtheria
death-rates in London in eaeh of the four quarters of the year 1911 were as follows: first quarter,
0.15; second quarter, 0.11; third quarter, 0.11; and fourth quarter, 0.17.
To enable the variations in diphtheria prevalence in the several sanitary districts to be more
clearly appreciated, the following table has been prepared. This table shows the comparative case-rates
of each district in each of the years 1891-1911 inclusive, i.e., the case-rates of each district are shown
in relation to the London case-rate of the same year, the London rate being taken as 100.

Table: The figures for the years 1901-9 differ from those given in previous reports owing to the revision of the population estimates on the basis of the results of the 1911 census.
