Table IV. shows the proportion which deaths from
Zymotic, Pulmonary, and Tubercular diseases in the year
bear to each 1,000 of population and each 1,000 of total
deaths, and which the deaths of children under one year of
age from Wasting and Convulsive diseases bear to each 1,000
of births and each 1,000 of deaths of infants under one year
of age.
Table V. shows the number of deaths from the principal

DEATHS FROM VARIOUS DISEASES
PULMONARY DISEASES.
Pulmonary Diseases other than Phthisis—viz., Bronchitis,
Pneumonia, Pleurisy, Asthma, and other Diseases of the
Respiratory System caused 873 deaths, or 3.6 per 1,000 of
population, and 186.6 per 1,000 of total deaths, and were
138 less in number than the previous year. In London,
during 1883, the proportion from these causes per 1,000 of
total deaths was 201.6 and 41 per 1,000 of population.
During the nine preceding years the proportion per 1,000
total deaths has been 221.4, or 4.5 in every 1,000 of
population.
The following table shows the number of deaths from
Pulmonary Diseases other than Phthisis occurring in each
sub-registration district, and the proportion per 1,000 of
population and per 1,000 of total deaths.*
*The previous address of 12 persons dying from Pulmonary Diseases
in Public Institutions and 87 persons dying from "all causes" in Public
Institutions could not be ascertained, and the deaths of these persons are
therefore excluded from consideration. The death rates are, for the purpose
of comparison, calculated on the population of each district, which
does not include persons resident in Hospitals and Workhouses.
