figures consequently materially differ from the figures
in the published return of the Registrar-General.
BIRTHS.
During last year 3,102 births, 1,561 males, 1,541
females, were registered in this Borough against 3,006
in the previous year. Making due allowance for the
increase of the population, the number of births registered
last year was 198 below the average number
registered during the previous 10 years. On the population
estimated up to the middle of the year, i.e.,
124,012 inhabitants, the number of births registered
was equal to an annual rate of 25.0 births per 1,000
persons living. The birth rate in London on the
estimated population of London up to the middle of
the year, i.e., 4,795,757 inhabitant, was equal to an
annual rate of 25.2 births per 1,000 persons living
These figures are calculated upon the actual number
of births registered in the Borough and in London.
No distribution of the births of children whose parents
lately resided elsewhere has been made. The RegistrarGeneral
has corrected the births by allotting them to
the districts to which the mothers were said to belong.
He gives the corrected births of Hammersmith as
3,204. I have no data at my disposal for so correcting
the births in this Borough.
DEATHS.
During last year 1,754 deaths were registered in
this Borough, 873 males, 881 females, against 1,777 in
the previous year. Making due allowance for the increase
of the population, the number of deaths registered
in the Borough last year was 19 above the
average number registered during the previous 10 years.
Adding 213 deaths of residents of this Borough, which
took place in general hospitals and other public
