It appears, then, that the deaths from these diseases were
114 below the corrected decennial average. They were also 151
fewer than in 1888. As usual, the deaths in the Brompton subdistrict
(28) were fewer in proportion to population than in the
Town sub-district, and to a greater extent than in immediately
preceding years. The total deaths were equal to 111 per 1000
deaths from all causes in Kensington (Metropolis, 128), and to
a rate of 1.5 per 1000 persons living (Metropolis, 2.2); the
decennial average being 2.1 in Kensington, and 3.0 in London.
In England and Wales the deaths from these diseases were 118
in each 1000 deaths; and the rate was 2.l per 1000 persons
living, the decennial average being 2.3 per 1000.
In the 27 Cities and Boroughs grouped by the RegistrarGeneral
with the Metropolis, the zymotic death-rate was 2.7 per
1000, ranging from 1.51 in Derby, 1.53 in Brighton, and 1.67 in
Halifax, to 4.2 in Manchester, 4.13 in Bolton, 4.57 in Salford,
4.74 in Blackburn, 5.76 in Plymouth, and 7.70 in Preston.
