A few of the "age and sex factors" shown in the above table differ materially from the
corresponding factors published in my last annual report. This is due to the fact that since
the publication of my last report I have been able to obtain from the General Register Office
the age and sex distribution of the population of several large workhouses and infirmaries
which are situated outside the area from which their inmates are drawn, and the populations
of these institutions have been added to the populations to which they properly belong, and
the factors recalculated.

The following table shows the number of deaths1 occurring at several ages in each of the metropolitan boroughs of the Administrative County of London during the year 1902 (365 days)—
