the deaths in outlying institutions within the Metropolis,
set out in Table II. must be included, representing a
total of 572, and giving the correct death-rate as 12.7
per 1,000 of the population.
The death-rate, although apparently higher than that
of previous years is accounted for by the hitherto different
method of calculation from that already described.
The statistics of former years give the death-rates of
parishioners (excluding non-parishioners) within the
parish, not accounting for those dying in the institutions
without the parish. The death-rate for the year
upon that method of calculation would be ll.5 per 1000
and will compare very favourably with other years, and
with any district either urban or rural.
Table I. gives the number of births and deaths, birthrates
and death-rates, and rates of natural increase during
the past ten years.
