had to the fact that low rates generally prevailed. It is nevertheless
however a remarkable fact that a Borough such as Stoke Newington
can even under the most favourable atmospheric conditions maintain
a rate below 9 per 1,000 for a period of three months. The low
Stoke Newington figure in my opinion is more noteworthy than the
low Hampstead, figure having regard to the very different social
circumstances of the populations in the two Boroughs. It is even
more remarkable still that the deaths of the most crowded part of
London, namely the Metropolis, should furnish a rate of only just
12 per 1,000 per annum for one quarter of the year; and the sanitary
administration of the Metropolis must take some credit for this result.
District Mortality.— The deaths among residents of the
Northern Division of the Borough numbered 187 and furnished a
recorded death-rate of 9.9 per 1,000 per annum.
The deaths among the residents of the Southern Division of
the Borough numbered 471, and furnished a recorded death-rate of
13.5 per 1,000 per annum.
