    44 Natural Increase. The excess of births over deaths represents the rate of natural increase which is 13.7 per 1,000 of the population. Deaths and Death.rate During the year 1890, 495 deaths were registered in this sub.district, 12 of these deaths occurred in St. Anne's Home, Streatham. The deceased were parishioners of St. Pancras, when these are excluded the proper death.rate for Streatham is 11.5 per 1,000 of the population. This exceeds the very low death.rate of 1889, but is considerably below the average of the previous ten years, the decennial average being 12.8 per 1,000. I may here remark that the death.rate has declined during the last years, notwithstanding the increased density of the population. When to the deaths proper to Streatham are added the 12 deaths which occurred in St. Anne's Home and those of persons who died in various out.lying general and special hospitals, the death.rate becomes 13.2 per 1,000.
