DEATHS FROM THE 9 PRINCIPAL ZYMOTIC DISEASES.
The total number of deaths of Burgesses that were
registered from the nine principal zymotic diseases was
230 against 339 in the previous year. The deaths of
Burgesses last year from these diseases were equal to
126 per 1,000 of the total deaths of Burgesses
registered, and were at the rate of 2T deaths per 1,000
persons living. The deaths from the 9 principal zymotic
diseases in the whole of London were equal to 126 per
1,000 of the total deaths registered, and were at the rate
Of 2*3 deaths per 1,000 persons living. These deaths
were, therefore, as compared with the total deaths of
Burgesses registered the same in this Borough as in
London, and as compared with the population 0'2 per
1,000 less in this Borough than in London.
