viz., from the beginning of 1891 to the end of 1895, is sufficiently near to the five-year inter-censal
period, viz., from the beginning of the second quarter of 1891 to the end of the first quarter of 1896.
for the comparisons made in the table—

An examination of the preceding table shows that in thirteen of the London sanitary districts
there has been a decrease of population in the inter-censal period 1891-96, while an increase is shown
for the remaining districts. In only twelve of the latter districts, however, is the increase of population
in the inter-censal period greater than the excess of births over deaths in the five years 1891-5.
It is interesting to observe that the increase in the population of London as a whole in the
inter-censal period 1891-96, as in the previous inter-censal period 1881-91, was less than the excess of
births over deaths, whereas in the inter-censal period 1871-81 the increase in the total population was
considerably in excess of the " natural increase," as will be seen from the following table-

1 Including the Close of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter. 2 Including Inner and Middle Temple.
3 Including Charterhouse, Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Staple s Inn and Furnival's Inn. 4 Including the Tower of London.
