The following table shows the increase or decrease of population in the inter-censal period
1891-1901, compared with the excess of births over deaths in each sanitary district of the administrative
county during the ten years 1891-1900. This table relates to the London sanitary districts
as constituted prior to the London Government Act of 1899. No such comparisons can be made
for the new metropolitan boroughs, as the births and deaths relating to these areas cannot be
obtained for the ten years 1891-1900—
