So that the mean length of life in this Parish during
those 19 years has averaged over 54½ years, while during
the last ten years it has averaged nearly 60 years.
The mean length of life in London during the last 16
years has been, according to my calculation, as follows :—
In 1878 it was 34.24 years.
„ 1879 „ 34.23 „

„ 1881 „ 35.87 „
„ 1882 „ 36.82 „
„ 1883 „ 37.88 „
„ 1884 „ 38.08 „ N.B.—These figures
„ 1885 „ 39.29 „ are too high, being calculated from erroneous estimates of the Population of London
