In England and Wales the mortality last year was at the rate of 15.0 per 1,000, 0.4
below the rate for 1906, and 1.7 below the decennial mean rate (16.7). In the Metropolis
the crude mortality for 1907 was 14.55, as compared with 15.06 in the preceding year and
a mean rate of 15.68 during 1902-06. In the circumjacent districts (Table 11) last year's
crude mortality was in every case below that for the mean; the Borough, in this respect,
occupying an exceptional position. Rates below that for the Borough (13.5) were recorded
in Westminster (13.0), Hampstead (9.0) and Willesden (11.5)., but of the corrected
mortalities ( Table 10) those of Hampstead (10.10) and Willesden (12.12) were the only two
below that of the Borough.
