In Tables B and C will be found the total corrected number
of deaths and the corrected death-rates for Lambeth during
the last 10 years, whilst Table D gives the corrected deathrates
during the year 1895 in the several Registration Subdistricts,
with the corresponding birth-rates and the
corrected zymotic death-rates. It will be seen that the
Registration Sub-districts vary not only in regard to their
birth-rates, but also in regard to their death-rates (general
and zymotic). Thus, the four Inner Districts average
a birth-rate of 47.2 per 1,000 (though the Lying-in
Hospital and the Workhouse must be remembered in this
connection and allowed for), a corrected death-rate of
26.92, and a corrected zymotic death-rate of 4.57 per
1,000 as compared with 27.08, 16.37 and 1.77 per 1,000
respectively for the corresponding averages of the Outer
Districts. As we examine the various statistics of Lambeth
Parish (divided into Inner and Outer Districts only) more
minutely, the same differences will be found to obtain.
Thus, there will be found to be comparatively a larger
number of deaths under five years of age in the Inner than
in the Outer Districts; so, also, the infantile mortality (or
deaths under one year per 1,000 births), the deaths from
the various zymotic diseases (whether taken in the
