The deaths under one year of age (762) bear the proportion of
17.5 per cent. on the registered births (London 15*5), and they
were equal to 28.5 per cent. of the total deaths (London 24.6.)
The deaths under five (1,188) were equal to 27.7 per cent. oil
the number of births, and to 45.4 per cent. of the total deaths;
the relative proportions in all London being 26.3 and 41.6.
The deaths at 60 years of age and upwards (582) formed 21.7 per
cent. of the total mortality in Kensington, the relative proportion
in all London being 21.6.
Impressed with the imperfections of mere general death rates
and proportional relations as given above, I have, at considerable
labour, estimated the population in groups of ages, and worked
out the death rate for each group—showing the number of deaths
per 1,000 persons living, as follows :
