Mortality in the Sub-Registration Districts.—These districts
showed a general improvement, indeed some of them were exceedingly
healthy; thus, for instance, Tollington, with 428 deaths, showed a deathrate
of only 12.04 per 1,000, and it was followed closely by Highbury,
where 837 deaths were registered, and whose death-rate was 12.61. Then
came Tufnell with 483 deaths, and a death-rate of 14.36; next to this
was South East Islington, where 1,116 deaths occurred, but whose death-rate
was only 14 65; next in order was Upper Holloway, with 550 deaths and a
death-rate of 15.44, while Lower Holloway, where 644 deaths were known, was
