Infantile Mortality.—The corrected death-rate of infants for Westminster
was 58-39 per 1,000 births. The mortality among legitimate
infants was 53-2 per 1,000; that of illegitimate 100-0. The infant
mortality rate for London was 67.
The number of infants dying under 1 year was 80, a decrease of 16 on
the figure of last year and as the total number of births only shows a decrease
of 29, the infantile mortality rate, especially the legitimate rate haB
appreciably declined. The chief contributory causes of death were
pneumonia, prematurity and gastro-enteritis. Twelve of the 13 premature
deaths occurred before the fourth week of life.
Gastro-enteritis accounted for 14 deaths, 13 of the infants being over
four months old. Eleven of those occurred during July, August, and
September, and might be attributed to what is commonly called
" summer diarrhoea."

Table: Table VIII shows the deaths as they occurred during the four quarters of the last four years:— Table VIII.
