Infantile Mortality.
On referring to Table IV, you will observe that the
number of children who died under the age of one
year was 86, which includes 15 under one month, and
was equal to 98 per thousand registered births
compared with 69.9 for the preceding year. For
London it was 128, and for England and Wales 118.
The abnormal summer heat, which was fully enjoyed
by all in good health, was responsible for a considerable
increase in the number of deaths of young children
under five years of age, more especially during the
months of July, August and September. This increase
was not confined exclusively to this locality; in
London alone there were during the year, nearly 3,000
more deaths than in 1910, all of which were attributable
to the excessive heat of the months which I have
mentioned.
Old Age.
One hundred and forty-three persons died aged 60
and upwards, including twenty-five between 70
and 80, fourteen between 80 and 90, and three between
90 and 95.
