Table: TABLE D. Shewing the number of Births and Deaths, with Birth- and Death-rates in each of the Registration Sub-Districts of the Borough during 1904. The Deaths are from all causes, and from the chief zymotic diseases, and are corrected by adding Lambethians who die outside the Borough, by omitting strangers who die within the Borough, and by re-distributing persons (who die in Public Institutions) into the Districts from which they have been removed during illness.

N.B.—In the 126 cases where the District is not stated, the death-rates have been calculated on the assumption that these
deaths were sub-divided equally in the eight Districts. Census 1901 Return gives the area of Lambeth as 4079.6
statute acres (exclusive of 82.1 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.1 foreshore).
* Excluding all the Lying-in Hospital births the corrected rate=30.6 per 1000.
† Excluding all the Workhouse births the corrected rate=33.4 per 1000.
