The death-rates per 1,000, derived from the estimated
populations of the Parish, and of its sub-districts (as given
in the last column of Table IV.), and from the re-distributed
deaths as given in the lowest line of Table VII are set
forth in Table VIII.; in which Table are also given, for the
purposes of comparison, the corresponding death rates of the
previous year. The results on the whole are by no means
unsatisfactory; for it appears that the death-rate of the
Parish is less than that of all London, and than those of its
several groups of sub-districts, and is very slightly in excess
of the parochial death-rate of the previous year. The deathrate
of Dulwich, though somewhat higher than it was last
year, is still, as usual, remarkably low. The death rate of
Camberwell is also low, and lower than it was in 1891. The
death-rate of Peckham shows a slight increase, but it also is
less than the death-rate of London. The death rate of
St. George's has fallen somewhat, but remains higher than
that of any of the other sub-districts.

Tables IX. and X. give between them the mortality
returns for the year 189.2, according to sex, to age, to disease,
and also according to Districts and to seasons.
