ZYMOTIC DISEASE.
The mortality from the principal Zymotic diseases includes
577 parishioners and 49 strangers, being a decrease of 279
upon last year's figures. Deducting the number of the strangers
and adding the number of the deaths of parishioners who died
in the outlying institutions, the total number of Zymotic
deaths proper to Lambeth is 632.
This represents a Zymotic death rate of 2.2 per 1000, the
Metropolitan rate for the same period being 2.5 per 1000.

Table: In the following table the Zymotic death rate is compared in the different districts of the Parish, both for the whole year and each quarter of the year, strangers deducted.
