Sub-District, 109'72 in Bromley, and 78 02 in Bow.* These estimated
populations are the figures used in calculating the various rates in the
present Report for the year 1910.
The various rates quoted in this Report for the years 1893 to 1900 are
the rates as stated in previous Reports; they are calculated upon the then
estimated populations, and as far as possible from past Annual Reports
for the Sub-District of Bow figures respecting certain diseases have been
extracted and the rates worked out so that the three sub-districts might be
compared, but the rates in Tables IV., V. and VI., have been calculated
upon revised estimated populations based upon the known censuses of
1891, 1896, and 1901.
