The Infantile Mortal ity for the year, although it does not show

INFECTIVE DISEASES.
The next Table shows the number of deaths from these diseases
during the year and for the 10 previous years. This Table is
•corrected for Institutions, as a large number of deaths registered
in the Borough occurred in the Grove Fever Hospital and belong
to other Metropolitan Boroughs. The number above or below the
corrected decennial average is also shown.
