Reference to this table shows that in the case of nine districts, viz., Fulham, Chelsea, Finsbury,
City, Stepney, Southwark, Wandsworth, Lewisham, and Woolwich, the difference in the death-rates
obtained is more than 0'5 per 1,000 living. In five of these districts, viz., Finsbury, City, Wandsworth,
Lewisham and Woolwich the adoption of the " equalisation" populations gives a lower
death-rate, while in the four remaining districts the death-rate is increased.
The following table shows the number of deaths1 (All Causes) occurring at several ages in
each of the sanitary areas of the Administrative County of London during the year 1906 (365 days) —

London mortality in 1906 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 decennium 1891-1900 and in the year 1906. The figures for the year 1906 are fully
corrected for institution deaths (see footnote (2), page 7), and the rates for the decennium 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 London Life Table
appended to my report for the year 1901.
