In addition to the deaths occurring in the Infirmary,
Workhouses, &c., 27 deaths occurred in outside institutions, in
regard to which the only information forthcoming was that
they came from Camberwell Parish. I have, therefore, included
them with the deaths taking place in the Infirmary, &c.,
and have re-distributed these in accordance with the deaths
occurring in the four registration sub-districts.

death-rate for the year 1898 is 16.70, as compared with 16.98
