Tables G, H and 1 shew the uncorrected returns (male
and female) arranged as to new Registration Sub-Districts,
age periods, and quarters respectively, and are given for
comparison with similar tables in former Lambeth Reports.
The place that the Borough of Lambeth takes during 1908
in the Registrar-General's corrected Returns amongst the
Metropolitan Districts is satisfactory. There are 14 other
Districts (out of 29) with a less general death-rate; 14 with
a less zymotic death-rate, and only 4 with a less infantile
mortality-rate. Taking the 10 South Metropolitan Districts,
Lewisham has the smallest general death-rate per 1000 of
the population, viz. : 11.0, and Bermondsey the highest,
viz. :18.8, as compared with 13.5 for Lambeth, 12.2 for Battersea,
12.7 for Camberwell, 16.3 for Southwark, and 13.8
for Deptford.
London, as a whole, has a birth-rate of 25.4, a corrected
death-rate of 13.8, a corrected zymotic (death-) rate of 1.35
per 1000 population, and an infant mortality (corrected) of
113 per 1000 births; and England and Wales a birth-rate of
26.5, a death-rate of 14.7, a zymotic death-rate of 1.29 per
1000 population, and an infantile mortality of 121 per 1000
births; and the Registrar-General's 76 great towns of
England and Wales a birth-rate of 27.0, a death-rate of 14.9,
a zymotic death-rate of 1.59 per 1000 population, and an infantile
mortality of 128 per 1000 births.
Age Periods of Corrected Deaths.
The 4341 corrected deaths during 1908 may be further
analysed, and tabulated as follow:—
829, i.e., 19.1 per cent, of the total corrected deaths
took place under 1 year of age
434, i.e., 9.9 ,, between 1 and 5 years.
1263, i.e., 29.1 ,, under 5 years.
172, i.e., 3.9 „ between 5 and 20 years.
