Taking the number of registered deaths (corrected) of infants
under one year of age for the year 1927, and comparing it with the
number for the previous year (1926) and the average, figures during
the past quarter of a century (25 years), arranged, quinquennially
and decennially, the following statement is particularly noteworthy:
1927 (actual) 266
1926 (actual) 288
5 years 1921-1925 (Borough) 419.4
10 years 1911-1900 (Borough) 619.7
10 years 1901-1910 (Borough) 1020.1
Average for 25 years 1901-1925 686.4
N.B.—It may be added that the average figure for the Parish
of Lambeth for the decennium 1891-1900 was 1358.5.
3.—Child Mortality (Deaths of Children between
1 and 5 years of Age).
165 corrected deaths were registered during the year 1927
amongst children between 1 and 5 years of age, as compared with

century (25 years), arranged quinquennially and decennially:—
1927 (actual) 165

5 years, 1921-1925 (Borough) 226.8
10 years, 1911-1920 (Borough) 338.9
10 years, 1901-1910 (Borough) 483.4
Average for 25 years, 1901-1925 = 349.7.
N.B.—It may be added that the average figure for the Parish
of Lambeth for the decennium 1891-1900 was 717.7.
4.—Total Mortality amongst Infants and Children
under 5 Years of Age.
Again, the decline in the total mortality figures for all infants
and children under 5 years of age is remarkable—a total of 431
corrected deaths during the year 1927 amongst infants and children
under five years of age, as compared with the following average
yearly numbers during the past quarter of a century (25 years),
arranged quinquennially and decennially:—
