* The births in this table have been corrected by distributing those which occurred away from home to the boroughs in
which the mothers had resided. In 1357 cases the residence was outside the County of London, and these cases have been
excluded from this table. With regard to Deaths, all those of persons in, or on the way to, Hospitals and other Public Institutions,
as well as those of persons under treatment in surgical homes, or dying by accident or otherwise in the streets, have been
distributed, as far as practicable, to the boroughs in which the deceased had previously resided. The deaths of 2331 London
residents who died outside the County of London in Metropolitan Workhouses, Hospitals, and Lunatic and Imbecile Asylums,
have been similarly distributed. Of the deaths registered in London the previous residence was outside the county in 3184 cases,
and these have been excluded from the tables.
† Called Simple Continued Fever previous to 1901.
