Adding these 140 deaths to those enumerated in
Table II., and substracting those above-mentioned as not
belonging to Clapham, we get a total of 724 deaths, giving
a death-rate of 15.8 per thousand. The corresponding
rate for last year was 15.58. This is as correct a deathrate
as we have the means of arriving at.
Ages at Death.
The proportion of the deaths at the different
age groups to the total deaths was as follows:—
Under 5 years 39.6 per cent.
From 5 to 65 years 38.1
Above 65 years 22.3 „
The Infantile death-rate was 146 per thousand; that is
the number of deaths of infants under 1 year of age per
thousand living at that age. This is a slightly higher
figure than in 1892 when the rate was 143.

was as follows:—
