Table ÌI. shows the population of Camberwell at the
censuses 1891 and 1896, together with the estimated number
of inhabitants at the middle of the latter year. As I suggested
in my report for 1895 we have been over-estimating the population,
the ratio of increase being less from 1895 to 1896 than
it was per annum in the previous decennial period. It may be
here mentioned that during the year I had occasion to compare
the population of certain parts of the Parish comprised in various
enumeration districts, and somewhat unexpectedly found that
in certain parts of Peckham the population was less in 1896
than it was in 1891, although there had been no demolition of
buildings that might have accounted for the decrease.

Table III. gives the number of births registered during
the year in the Parish. There is an increase of 134 over the
figures for 1895, while the excess in the latter year over those
of 1894 was 147 ; this larger number is made up by an increase
of 82 in Camberwell, 42 in Peckham and 11 in St. George's on
