See also Table, page 106.
The figures on which the rates given in the Registrar-General's Quarterly
Reports are based are necessarily only partly corrected; the final correction
including the transference of births in institutions to the residential area of the
parents is made before the publication of the Registrar-General's Annual Report.
*In these figures as published in the Registrar-General's Quarterly Returns for 1927, the
complete corrections for deaths are not included. These corrections increase the nett
deaths in Holborn to 530 giving a corrected death-rate of 12.5 per 1,000, the
corresponding rate in London being 11.9 per 1,000.
