STREATHAM.
Popuiatio At the time of writing this Report upon the
Public Health and Sanitary Condition of the
Parish of Streatham, the census figures concerning the
population existing on the first day of April, 1901, are not
available, and, although they would doubtless form the
basis of a more correct estimate, it is necessary to again
assume that the annual increase of population during the
previous intercensal period has been maintained, which
would be productive of a population, during the year under
report, of 65,511 persons, and upon this figure the various
mortality and other rat es will be calculated.

males and 748 of females, the sex distribution as usual
being remarkably equal. The birth-rate was equal to
23.6 per 1,000 per annum, being the highest rate recorded
since the year 1894, although slightly below the average
of the past ten years which was equal to 23'8 per 1,000.

359, and of females 400, giving a death-rate equal to 11.5
