London mortality in 1901 compared with the mortality in, the decennium 1891.1900.
The following table shows the mean death rates obtaining in London at the several age.
periods and for each sex in the ten years 1891.1900 and in the year 1901. The figures for the
year 1901 are fully corrected for institution deaths (see footnote (*)» page 9), and the rates for
the period 1891.1900 are based upon figures which have been corrected for institution deaths
on the basis of the experience of the four years 1897.1900 ; a fuller discussion of this point will
be found in the appen'ded London Life Table (see appendix I., page 2).*

This table shows that the rate of mortality in 1901 was considerably lower than that
of the period 1891.1900 at each age.period of life and for each sex. It appears probable
from an examination of the figures shown for 1901 that the death rate among males aged 20.25
is somewhat overstated; the explanation of this may probably be found in the fact that a considerable
number of healthy young men at these ages were serving with the army in South Africa at the
date of the last census. It will be seen from the table that the death rate in 1901 among males
* This life.table is based on t're population of London as enumerated in 1891 and 1901, and the deaths occurring in the decennium
1891.1P00. It has been calculated by the method of " finite differences," and the series used for interpolation (R?e page 7) are those
which Dr. Hayward, medical officer of health of Haydock, in a paper published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society (Vol. LXII.,
Parts III. and IV.), recommended as giving the most consistent results.
