In Table VI. the birth-rates per 1,000 for the Parish
and its component parts are given both for the year 1893
and for the year 1894. For the Parish there was a fallingoff

1; for Peckham a falling-off of 1·2; and for St. George's a
falling-off of 1·3; while for Dulwich there was an increase
from 9 to 10·7.

The complete mortality returns are given in Tables
IX. and X., to some of the facts set forth in which
reference will be made further on. But meanwhile Table
VII. has been constructed for the purpose of forming as
correct an estimate as possible of the death-rates of the
Parish and of its sub-districts.
Table IX. gives the deaths due to the Parish, which
actually occurred and were registered within its limits.
But a considerable number of deaths due to the Parish took
place in hospitals and other institutions placed outside the
Parish. These, with some approach to accuracy, are given
in Table X. For the purpose of the death-rate the corresponding
items in Tables IX. and X., and the combined
numbers (representing the total mortality of the Parish and
of its sub-districts) are set forth in the first column of
Table VII, To Dulwich there are thus attributed 50
