* For the purpose of this table the Births registered in London have been corrected by distributing those which
occurred in the principal institutions receiving maternity cases to the boroughs in which the mothers resided. In
1370 oases the residence was outside the County of London, and these cases have been excluded. On the other hand
55 births that occurred outside the County have been included. With regard to the deaths of London residents, all
transferable deaths (i.e., those of persons who, having a fixed or usual residence 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 3433 cases, while on the other hand the
deaths of 3082 London residents occurred in the Outer Ring or in Metropolitan Institutions outside Greater London.
† Based on the results of the Censuses of 1901 and 1911.
