The death-rates per 1,000, deduced from the estimated
populations of the Parish (as given in the lowest
deaths (as given in the last column of Table VII.), are set
forth in Table VIII.; in which Table are also given, for
the purposes of comparison, the corresponding death-rates
of the previous year. If we turn to Table II., which has
already been explained, it will be seen that the Southern
group of districts has a lower mortality than London as a
whole, and a lower mortality than the Central and Eastern
Districts. The mortality rate of the Parish of Camberwell
was 16·33, 3·05 lower than in the previous year; the
mortality of Dulwich was 7·85, 4·23 lower than in the
previous year; the mortality of the sub-district of Camberwell
was 14·89, 2·45 lower than in the previous year; the
mortality of Peckham was 17·72, 1·86 lower than it was in
the previous year; and the mortality of St. George's was
17·37, 5·16 lower than in the previous year. The results are
