Table II. shows the population of Camberwell and its
sub-districts at the census of 1896, together with the estimated
number of inhabitants at the middle of 1897, and also at a
similar period in 1898. These figures naturally depend for
their accuracy on the assumption that the annual rate of increase
since 1896 has been equal to the rate of the years
1891-96.

Table III. gives the total number of births registered
during the year in the Parish, and it shows a decrease of 51 on
the figures for 1897. The only registration sub-district that
shows an increase is Camberwell, where 42 more births
occurred than in 1897.
