* For the purpose of this Table, the Births registered in London havo been corrected by distributing
those which occurred in the principal institutions receiving maternity cases to the Boroughs in which the
mothers resided. In 1,252 cases the residence was outside the County of London, and these cases have
been oxcluded. On the other hand, 44 births that occurred outside the County havo been included. With
regard to the Deaths of London residents, all transferable deaths (i.e., those of persons who, having a
fixed or usual residenoe in England and Wales, die in a district other than that in which they resided)
occurring in Greater London and in certain Metropolitan institutions outside Greater London, have been
distributed to the Metropolitan Borough to which the deceased belonged. Of the Deaths registered in
London, the previous residence was outside the County in 3,092 cases, while, on the other hand, the Deaths
of 2,719 London residents occurred in the Outer Ring or in Metropolitan institutions outside Greater London.
