The complete mortality returns are given in Tables
IX. and X., to some of the facts set forth in which reference

been constructed for the purpose of assisting to form as
correct an estimate as may be of the death-rates.
Table IX. gives the deaths due to the Parish, which
actually occurred, and were registered, within its limits.
But a considerable number of deaths due to the Parish took
place in Hospitals and other such institutions which are
outside the Parish. These, with some approach to accuracy,
are given in Table X. For the purposes of the death-rate
these have been added together, and the combined numbers
(representing the total mortality of the Parish and of its
sub-districts) are set forth in the first column of Table VII.
To Dulwich there are thus attributed 69 deaths, to Camberwell
1,731, to Peckham 1,472, to St. George's 1,221, and
consequently to the whole Parish 4,493. But Camberwell
