From the above table it appears that the mortality from
measles and diarrhoea was in excess, that from all the other
diseases (save typhus, 2 deaths), being below the corrected
decennial average. As usual the deaths in the Brompton
sub-district (34) were fewer, in proportion to population, than
those in the Town sub-district (313).
District Zymotic Death-Rate.—The district zymotic
death-rate was, in North Kensington (279 deaths) 3.18 per
1,000 persons living, and in South Kensington (68 deaths) 0'8
per 1,000. The rate in the several sanitary districts was as
follows:—
North 113 deaths or 3.9 per 1,000 persons living.
North-East 59 deaths or 19 per 1,000 persons living.
North-West 70 deaths or 4.2 per 1,000 persons living.
Central 40 deaths or 1.5 per 1,000 persons living.
South-East 21 deaths or 0.7 per 1,000 persons living.
South-West 26 deaths or 0.8 per 1,000 persons living,
The table at page 26 shows the distribution of the deaths
in Kensington, as a whole, from the several diseases, as
recorded in the thirteen four-weekly reports.
In England and Wales the deaths from these diseases
were at the rate of 2.22 per 1,000 persons living, the decennial
average being about 2.5 per 1,000. In the thirty-three great
towns, including London, the average rate was 2.85, ranging
from 1.61 in Huddersfield, 1.99 in Croydon, and 2.04 in Burnley,
to 3.69 in Sunderland, 3.82 in Sheffield, and 4.03 in Salford,
