DEATHS AND DEATH RATE.
The deaths of 2,105 persons —1,046 males and 1,059 females
—were registered in Fulham during the year; but of these
445 were of persons not belonging to the district, who died
in public institutions within the parish, while the deaths of
237 persons belonging to Fulham occurred in institutions
situated outside the parish. There were therefore 1,897
deaths of parishioners of Fulham, compared with 2,024, 2,068
and 1,868 in the three preceding years.
The death rate per 1000 living was 17*6, which is the
lowest recorded in Fulham for some time past. The rates for
the three previous years have been 19*3, 19 - 9 and 197. The
rate for London was 17 - 4, which is the lowest recorded since
the establishment of civil registration, nearly 60 years ago,
the nearest approach to so low a death rate having been 18*0
in 1889.
Correction for Age and Sex Distribution.
The death rate corrected for Age and Sex Distribution
was 18.4, and that of London 18.5.

one year to births registered was 149, as compared with 177,
166 and 163 for the three previous years. The rate for the
whole of London was 143, the lowest rates among the
