* The Births in this Table have been corrected by distributing those which occurred in the chief
Lying-in Institutions to the boroughs in which the mothers had resided previous to admission. In 772
cases the residence was outside the County of London, and these have been excluded from this Table
Deaths have been similarly treated.
† Called Simple Continued Fever previous to 1901.
