N.B.—The Inner Districts consist of the following new
Registration Sub-Districts:—Waterloo, Lambeth Church,
Kennington, and part of Stockwell.
It will be seen from the voluntary notifications received
that the disease appears to have a greater incidence on the
Inner than on the Outer Districts (whether Registration SubDistricts
or Wards). This result was to be expected, bearing
in mind the more crowded conditions (persons in houses or
houses over area) that exist in the Inner as compared with
the Outer Districts and the different status of the inhabitants
