The recorded general death-rate is therefore 16.0, as against
14.1 for the preceding year.
The so-called "factor for correction" for the Borough of
Stoke Newington is 0.9512, and the death-rate corrected for age and
sex distribution is 16.0 X0.9512=15.2 per 1,000 per annum.
The corrected rate is above that for the preceding year, when
it was 13 4. This increase is entirely due to more deaths from
Influenza and Pneumonia. The death-rate for the whole of London
was 18.9.
District Mortality.— The deaths among residents of the
Northern Division of the Borough numbered 223, and furnished

The deaths among the residents of the Southern Division of
the Borough numbered 537, and furnished a recorded death-rate
of 17.1 per 1,000 per annum.
