Of the total deaths from all causes, 18.1 per cent. (181 per thousand)
were referred to the groups of diseases under consideration, against
16.3 per cent. for the whole of London.
The decennial average of Zymotic mortality for the years 1872 to
1881 is 554.3, a number identical with the registered deaths, but 18.7
below the true number for 1882, which includes Hospital deaths.
The high Zymotic mortality of the previous year was due to Measles
and Small Pox; these had in 1882 fallen considerably below the
average numbers; but Scarlet Fever and Whooping Cough were prevalent
and very fatal, the latter causing more than twice as many
deaths as in 1881. Enteric Fever and Diarrhoea both shew a considerable
decrease, though eight deaths were referred to English
Cholera.
