TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF
The Vestry of St. James 's, Westminster.
Reverend Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the following
Report upon the Public Health of the Parish of
St. James's, Westminster, for the year 1879.
The District of St. James's Parish covers an
area of 164 statute acres, and the mean density of
the population, taking) as a basis the enumeration
of 1871, is 205 persons per acre. For the year
1879 the net mortality of the Parish amounts to a
death rate of rather less than 17 per 1000—the
population being taken at 35,500.
The mortality from zymotics in the year 1879
has been 48, and there have been in addition five
other deaths among Zymotic cases removed from
the Parish to extra-Parochial Hospitals.
