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.
These figures, as published in the Registrar-General's Quarterly Returns for 1928, aro
for the 52 weeks ended 29tli December; the complete corrections for the year 1928 increase
the number of deaths to 531 and the rate to 13-S per 1,000. The corresponding rate for
London was 11.6.
