in the number of births in Dulwich, which amounts this year

Table IV. gives the birth-rate per thousand of the
Parish and its registration sub-districts, and I have here
inserted both the birth-rate for 1895 calculated from the census
of 1896 on the assumption that the population of the Parish and
its sub-districts had increased at an equal annual rate during
the quinquennial period of 1891-6, and also the birth-rate
calculated upon the figures that were available last year before
the census was taken. It will be seen that the birth-rate of
Camberwell has increased, as also has that of Peckham, but to
a less degree, while the rate in St. George's remains the same.

The total number of deaths registered in the Parish, and
of parishioners in institutions outside the Parish, amounted to
4,726, as compared with 4,727 in 1895. Following the example
of former years I have re-distributed those deaths occurring in
outside institutions among the registration sub-districts from
which the persons were removed. In those instances where it
was impossible to ascertain from which part of the Parish the
