BIRTHS.
During last year 2,951 births, 1,488 males, 1,463
females, were registered in this Borough against 2,755
in the previous year. Making due allowance for the
increase of the population, the number of births registered
last year was 155 below the average number
registered during the previous 10 years. Adding 96
births which occured outside the Borough, transferred
by the Registrar-General as belonging to Hammersmith,
and deducting 5 births which occurred in this Borough
which are transferred to other districts by the RegistrarGeneral,
the corrected number of births for last year
was 3,042. On the population estimated up to the
middle of the year, i.e., 123,745 inhabitants, the corrected
number of births registered was equal to an annual rate
of 24.6 births per 1,000 persons living. The birth rate
in London on the estimated population of London up
to the middle of the year, i.e., 4,518,191 inhabitants,
was equal to an annual rate of 24'9 births per 1,000
persons living. These figures are calculated upon the
corrected number of births registered.
