Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions are allotted to the respective sub-districts
according to the addresses of the deceased as given by the registrars, and, in addition, are classified
under the heading Public Institutions.
The subjoined table, being a Summary of Table VIII. in the appendix, page 132, (Table III.
in annual reports prior to 1900), shows the number of deaths from diseases comprised in the "New
List of Causes of Death," as used in the Annual Reports of the Registrar-General for England and
Wales, referred to in the following pages, to which I have added the deaths from violence, and
certain diseases comprised in the old classification under the heading Ill-defined and Not Specified
Causes, e.g., Debility, Atrophy, Inanition, terms which find no place in the New List.

Zymotic Diseases.— The Deaths from the "principal zymotic diseases" were 263, and 82
below the corrected decennial average (345). These deaths, of which 239 belong to the Town
sub-district and 24 to Brompton, were equivalent to 1.48 per 1,000 persons living (1.86 in the Town
sub-district and 0.49 in Brompton) as compared with 1.81 in 1901.
The rate in the Metropolis, as a whole, was 2.23 per 1,000 (2.24 in 1901); the decennial
average being, for London 2.65, and for Kensington 2.0 per 1,000.
The subjoined table shows the number of deaths from the several diseases occurring in the
