II.—VITAL STATISTICS.
AREA.
The boundary of the Parish of St. Pancras was described in detail in last
year's Annual Report for 1899. It is now desirable to place on permanent
record for statistical purposes the boundary of the Metropolitan Borough of
St. Pancras, that came into existence in November, 1900. It is also necessary
to record, with the alterations of the boundary, the properties that have
passed to or from St. Pancras, from or to either of the adjoining Boroughs,
and the Registration Sub-Districts of St. Pancras in which they were or are
situated. These alterations will commence to be taken into account in 1901.
