Table II. sets forth the births and deaths, together
with the birth-rates and death-rates of London and its five
groups of districts for the year, 1893. It will be seen that
the birth-rate of South London is higher than the birthrates
of the Western, Northern and Central Districts, but
considerably lower than the birth-rate of the Eastern District,
and a trifle higher than that for London generally; and that
the death-rate of South London is higher by 1·2 than that of
the Western Districts, but lower than the rate of all the
remaining districts, and of London.
