*Mem.—After the year 1890, the Aldgate Sub-registration District was merged into the Goodman's Fields Subregistration
District.
**For the necessary figures I had previously taxed the kindness of the Medical Superintendent of the Whitechapel
Infirmary. I was subsequently enabled to arrange with the Vaccination Officer, who now furnishes quarterly
Returns of Union Infirmary births. No record given during the years 1887 to 1889.
