Gentlemen,
The Registrar's returns are for a space of four weeks, from 23rd May, to 20th June,
during which time 89 children have been born in the district, and 31 persons have died.
The mortality of the district is considerably below the average for the last eight
years, when taking into account the increase of population ; indeed, it is little above the
average if the number of the population had remained stationary.
Sporadic cases of smallpox, also of measles, and scarlatina, continue to be prevalent
in the district, sometimes very severe in character, but the mortality from epidemic
disease has been small, thus—
15th June, Scarlet fever, Lower Sydenham.
11th ,, Diarrhoea, Lewisham.
25th May Measles, North Surrey District School (Anerlcy).
26th „ Scarlet fever, Laurie Park, Penge.
Opthalmia still continues to be prevalent at the North Surrey District Schools, but
is much mitigated in severity.
A nuisance existing at the back of the " British Schools," Loampit Vale, requires
your order for its removal. Pigs are kept in the gardens of Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, Hanover
