The above table shows that the great increase of mortality
occurred in the Spring and Summer, and that in the last three
months of the year the death rate was lowest. But it was only
lowest as compared with the other quarters; for if we compare
it with the same quarter in previous mild winters we find that
the death rate during the same period last year was very materially
increased.
The deaths of males exceeded those of females by 6. If
we turn to the birth rate, we find that the number of females
born exceeded the males by 20. In the whole Metropolis, the
numbers of births and deaths of males exceeded those of females.

The number of births registered in this District last year
was remarkably large, being 3610, 179.3 males, and 1815 females.
It is interesting to note that the females preponderant

lesser number of deaths, while in the Metropolis the males borexceed
the females, there being 105 males to every 100 females,
though the number of deaths of males also exceeds that of females.
These facts account in some extent for the great excess
of single women. Of the births registered last vear, there were
222 in St. Peters, 100 males and 122 females, 1952 in St.
Paul's, 964 males, and 988 females; 1436 in Fulham, 731
males, and 705 females. Thus we see that in the Parish of
Hammersmith there was an excess of 46 females; while in Fulham
there was an excess of 26 males, the per centage of males
and females in Fulham being about the normal amount. The
birth rate in the whole District was 36.1 per 1000 persons living
—one birth to 27.7 persons. The rate in the whole Metropolis
was 36.2 per 1,000 persons living. The births exceeded the deaths
in this district last year by 1,264, and exceeded the number of
