The Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the

Fulham Road, in the parish of Chelsea), were 114, viz.: males,
73, and females 41. Eight of the deaths were of parishioners,

Marylebone Infirmary, Notting Hill.— At this hospital,
which is under the control of the Guardians of the Poor of the

all of which are excluded from Table 3 (Appendix).
