Note.—The above table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths
in the Borough, and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the
corresponding rates. The rates are calculated per 1,000 of the estimated
gross population. For columns 5 and 13 the population of the Holborn Institution,
estimated at 1,000, has been deducted in calculating the rates,
except in the case of 1931, in which year the Registrar-General's estimated
population has been for the first time adopted for all statistical purposes.
In column 6 are included the whole of the deaths except those of soldiers
and sailors in public institutions, which were registered during the year as
having actually occurred within the Borough. In column 12 is entered the
number in column 6 corrected by subtraction of the number in column 8 and
by the addition of the number in column 9. Deaths in column 10 have been
similarly corrected by subtraction of the deaths under one year included in
the number given in column 8 and by addition of the deaths under one year
included in the number given in column 9.
"Transferable Deaths" are deaths of persons who, having a fixed or
usual residence in England or Wales, die in a district other than that in
which they reside.
