So that the mean length of life in this Parish during
those 20 years has averaged over 55 years, while during
the last ten years it has averaged over 59 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 „
„ 1880 „ 35.17 „
„ 1881 „ 35.87

„ 1886 „ 39.31 „
„ 1887 „ 39.98 „
„ 1888 „ 41.77 „
„ 1889 „ 43.27 „
„ 1890 „ 4110 „
N.B.—These figures
are too high, being
calculated from erroneous
estimates of
the Population of
London.
