The deaths from the other classes do not call for any particular
remarks, as, taking into account the increased population, they only
show about an average mortality. It is, however, satisfactory to note
that there has been no death from puerperal disease. The deaths
from various other diseases have been set out in detail in the reports
of the Public Health and Hospital Committee, and it is unnecessary to
refer to them again.
Aoes at which the Deaths occurred. 1897. 1898.
One year and under 188 168
One year to five years 58 55

The deaths under one year to births registered works out at 117.73
for 1,000 inhabitants, and compares with London with 166 per 1,000
for the same period and with 103.21 for 1897 for Hornsey, and the
deaths under five years to 168.71 against 146.67 for 1897, and the
percentage of deaths under one year is 27.28 compared with 26.1 for
1897.
The mortality under one year per 1,000 inhabitants amounts to
2.25, and under five years to 3.04, and he mortality for 65 years and
over amounts to 1.96 per 1,000 inhabitants.
For the purpose of comparison I again append a table giving the
deaths, &c., in London (made up of 48 sanitary areas), Hampstead,
St. Pancras, Islington, Finchley and Hornsey.
