Most of these rates are somewhat lower than those of
1891, the rates for Madras and Cairo being as much as 6½
per 1000 below those of 1891.
In Paris the rate was 22.4, and in Vienna it was 21.3.

From Table II. we see that the number of births in the
Parish was 1,519, and that the birth-rate was 19.31 per
thousand per annum, as against 17.96 in 1891.
The birth-rate for London proper was 30.9 (which is the
lowest that has ever been recorded for London, with the
single exception of 1890, when it was only 30.7), that of
greater London being 30.7, and that of the outer ring 29 9.
The average birth-rate of the 33 largest English towns
was 31.9, or 0.7 per thousand lower than that of 1891, the
highest being those of Salford, 30.9; West Ham, 37.0; and
Sunderland, 37.1; and the lowest those of Halifax, 25.9;
Brighton, 25.5; and Huddersfield, 25.0.
The number of deaths of children under one year of age
(Parishioners; see Table A) was 220; the percentage of
such deaths to registered births was 14.48, and to total
deaths of parishioners, 16.49; thus the mortality of children
under one year of age was 145 to a thousand births, or 13
less than in 1891, while in London generally it was 155,
and the average for the 33 largest English towns was 164,
