REPORT.
PHYSICAL FEATURES.
Generally speaking, the District is flat, and has a subsoil
for the greater part of loamy gravel, which thins out and
merges into the underlying clav at the east, west and southern
portions. The acreage is approximately 1,764, apparently
about 1,256 of this not having yet been built on. The surface
is drained by the River Wandle, the Pyl, and the Beverley
Brooks.
The statistics are allocated to the Wards imito which the
District has been divided, and the reason for the separation is
that should any particular disease show a predominance in any
one area, data will be available for enquiries to be made on
rational lines. It should, however, be borne in mind that the
figures in each are still too small for any accurate deductions
to be made unless a substantial difference is revealed; but the
observations extended over a few years, will be sure to give
valuable information.
The Boundaries, estimated population in the middle of
year, etc., are shewn in the Table.
