of course, excluded from consideration the deaths occurring

The death-rates per 1,000, deduced from the estimated
populations of the parish (as given in the lowest
horizontal line of Table IV.), and from the re-distributed
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 have a lower mortality than London as a
whole, and a lower mortality than all the other groups of
districts excepting the west. But the mortality generally
is a little higher than it was in the year immediately
preceding. The mortality rate of the parish of Camberwell
was 19.38, .32 higher than in the previous year; the
mortality of Camberwell was 17.34, an increase of .66; the
mortality of St. George's was 22.53, an increase of I.3;
