Taking the new Registration Sub.Districts (Table E), and
the new Wards (Table F), into which the Borough is subdivided,
the corrected death.rates for 1910, will be found to
vary between the Inner and the Outer Districts as follows :
New Registration
Sub.Districts and
New Wards.
1910.
Inner. Outer.
General Death.rate (corrected) 15.2 10.4
Zymotic Death.rate (corrected) 1.8 0.4
Of the new Registration Sub.Districts, Kennington has
the highest general, and Waterloo the highest zymotic,
death.rate, and Norwood the lowest general, and Brixton
and Norwood the lowest zymotic death.rates; whilst in the
New Wards, Bishop's has the highest general, and Marsh
the highest zymotic, death.rate, and Tulse Hill the lowest,
general and zymotic, death.rates.
Tables G,H and I show the uncorrected returns (male
and female) arranged as to new Registration Sub.Distriots,
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 1910
in the Registrar.General's corrected Returns amongst the
Metropolitan Districts is satisfactory. There arc 14 other
Districts (out of 29) with a less general death.rate; 12 with
a less zymotic death.rate, and 6 with a less infantile
mortality.rate. Taking the 10 South Metropolitan Districts,
Lewisham has the smallest general death.rate per 1000 of
