Deaths which cannot be absolutely apportioned to any
particular parish are distributed pro rata among the various
Metropolitan Districts, hence the slight difference between the
rates given by Medical Officers, i.e., in this table 16.7 is given
as the death-rate for Battersea, it will be found that I have
estimated it as 16.6, which latter is absolutely correct if these
added cases of which no knowledge can be obtained be deleted.
