The deaths registered in Camberwell during the year
amounted to 3,750, of which 1,825 were of males, 1,925 of
females, and of which 53 were returned from Dulwich, 1,337
from Camberwell, 1,337 from Peckham, and 1,023 from St.
George's. The deaths were less numerous than those in
1884 by 18. In Dulwich there was a decrease of 2, in Camberwell
of 36, and in Peckham of 22; but in St. George's
there was an increase of 42 (see Table IX.). Of the 1,337
returned for the sub-district of Camberwell, 296 occurred in
the Workhouse and Parochial Infirmary, and 76 in the two
Lunatic Asylums, makinga total of 372 deaths which (though
included in the mortuary returns of this sub-district) no more
belong properly to it, than they do to the other sub-districts
of the Parish. In order to determine the death-rates of the
sub-districts, it is necessary to distribute these proportionately

districts were obtained by comparing the deaths given in
