The numbers given for 1884 and 1885 differ considerably
from those in my last report, as the deaths of London
residents from this disease in the Metropolitan Asylum
Hospitals outside registration London have been added to the
numbers previously given; the number for 1886, viz. 24,
also includes such deaths, and is the smallest number recorded
in London in any year, the nearest to it being 46 in 1875, and
57 in 1874.
