Table IV. gives the populations of Camberwell and
of its sub-districts, as enumerated at the censuses of 1881
and 1891, and also the populations calculated for the middle
of 1893 on the hypothesis that the rates of increase which
had ruled between these periods have been maintained
since. It will probably be observed that according to this
calculation, the estimated population for the parish does
not correspond accurately with the estimated population of
the sub-districts. This discrepancy is due to the fact that
each sub-district has had its population deduced from its
own special decennial increase between 1881 and 1891 —a
mode of calculation which, though strictly correct, does not
allow accurate correspondence.

Table V. enumerates the births which were registered
in the parish and its sub-districts during the years 1892 and
1893. It will be observed that in the latter year the births
were 7 lower than those in the former year. In Camberwell
there was an increase of 28, in Dulwich there was a
falling-off of 9, in Peckham of 20, in St. George's of 6.
