of 1.27, compared with 1.22, 1.08, l.20, 1.01, and
1.42, in the five preceding years. The rate of the last
two years is higher than it has been since 1906, but is
considerably below that of the quinquennia 1891.5, 18961900,
and 1901.5, as is shown in the following table. The
table shows also that the rate last year in East Plumstead
and Eltham was the lowest recorded, but in Woolwich parish
it was higher than it has been since 1905.
