and in those instances where it was impossible to ascertain
from which registration sub-district they had been so removed,
the deaths have been re-distributed together with those that
occurred in the Workhouse and Infirmary among the four sub-districts
of the Parish in proportion to the recorded deaths.
My reason for so doing is that if it were left undone the deaths
in the Camberwell sub-district would be falsified since the
persons who died in the Infirmary came from all parts of the
Parish, and not from Camberwell alone.
The steps by which this re-distribution is worked out
are shown in Table V.

As the result of the above calculations we find that the
death-rate for 1897 for the Parish is 16.98 per thousand, and
that there is a decrease in all the different sub-districts,
especially in Camberwell and St. George's. The death-rate of
London as noted above is 17.7 per thousand, and according to
the Registrar General our death-rate is 16.6 per thousand, but
the difference, as I have mentioned in former years, is probably
accounted for by our inclusion of deaths of parishioners in outside
iv.
