the death-rate.
The total number of deaths registered in tne Borough 01
Lambetn, during the year 1908, was 4692, as compared with
4926 during 1907, and a yearly average of 5716.7 in the old
Parish of Lambeth for the 10 years 1891-1900. Of the total
4692 deaths, 2413 were males and 2279 females, showing an
excess of 134 males.
The uncorrected death-rate for Lambeth is, therefore, 14.6
per 1000 inhabitants (15.9 males and 13.5 females), as compared
with 14.7 for London (16.1 males and 13.4 females).
These rates are, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing
the 4692 deaths registered in the Borough of Lambeth, it is
found that 863 represent deaths occurring within the Borough
amongst persons not belonging thereto. These deaths are
to be deducted, but, on the other hand, there are 512 deaths
registered outside the Borough of persons belonging thereto,
and these must be added, giving a corrected number of deaths
tor Lambeth during 1908 of 4341, and a corrected death-rate
of 13.5 per 1000 inhabitants, as compared with 13.8 for
London (the total corrected number of London deaths being
67353).
