Further details as to the causes of and ages at death are given in Table IV of
the Appendix.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
The number of notifications of infectious diseases in the Borough during 1907
was again very small, and, excluding two notifications of Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis,
was only 276, the same as the previous year, the decennial average being 470.
During the past six years the notifications per 1,000 of the population have been
less than for London, and last year were 5.0 per 1,000 in comparison with 8.6 for
London.
