Bermondsey the highest, viz.: 19.7, as compared with 14.9 for

London, as a whole, has a birth-rate of 26.7 corrected deathrate
of 15.1, a corrected zymotic (death-) rate of 1.9 per 1000
population, and an infant mortality (corrected) of 130 per 1000
births ; and England and Wales a birth-rate of 27.0, a death-rate
of 15.4, a zymotic death-rate of 17 per 1000 population, and
an infantile mortality of 133 per 1000 births; and the RegistrarGeneral's

27'9, a death-rate of 15'9, a zymotic death-rate of 2.2 per 1000
population, and an infantile mortality of 145 per 1000 births.
Age-Periods of Corrected Deaths.
The 4709 corrected deaths during 1906 may be further
analysed, and tabulated as follow :—
1088, i.e., 23.1 per cent, of the total (corrected) deaths took
place under 1 year of age.
473, i.e., 10.04 „ between 1 and 5 years.
1561, i.e., 38.2 „ under 5 years.
253, i.e., 5.4 „ between 5 and 20 years.
500, i.e., 10.6 „ 20 to 40 years.
872, i.e, 18.5 ,, 40 to 60 years.
1203, i.e., 25.5 „ 60 to 80 years.
320, i.e., 6.8 „ 80 years and over.
3148, i.e., 66.9 „ over 5 years.
These results may be compared with those for London given
in the Table on p. 22 which shows the estimated mortalities per
1000 persons at each age-period for London during 1906 and the
London averages for the 10 years 1881-90.
