In the whole Parish, the rates among males
were in excess of those among females at ages
included in all groups except those of 1-5 and 5-15.
On the other hand, in the condensed age-groups
0-5, 5-60, and 60 and upwards, the rate among females
exceeded that among males in the last group.
The following statement shows the incidence of
death on the three condensed age-groups (both
sexes) in Paddington and London, based on the
imcorrected totals.
Rates per 1,000 persons living in each age-group.

INFANTILE MORTALITY.
The infantile mortality of last year was 135 per
1,000 births registered, the average mortality for
the decennium having been 143. The years 1887
and 1888 are the only two with lower rates, viz.:
122 and 123 respectively. (See Table II. in the
Appendix.) In London, the mortality last year was
143, compared with an average rate for 1884-93 of
154. In England and Wales, the rate for last year
was 137, 9 below the average.
Comparing the mortalities of the two SubDistricts,
it appears that the mortality among male
infants was 157 per 1,000 births in St. Mary, and 103
in St. John, whilst those among female infants were
127 and 85 respectively. The total mortalities at this
age were 142 and 94 for the respective districts.
For the purposes of future comparison, the two
following Tables (13 and 13a) have been prepared.
