    Mortality from Cholera, 1849, in the Sub-Districts of London, arranged in the order of the Elevation of the Soil above the Trinity High-Water Mark of the Thames. [Tlie results in this Table were obtained by dividing the Deaths from Cliolera in 1849 by the population returned at the Census (Marcli 3lat, 1851). No correction was made for increase of population Irom July anil, 1849, to March 3l8t, 1851; the mortality is consequently somewhat understated in llie outlying Sub-districts. This does not materially affect the general results.] SUB-DISTRICTS. DISTRICTS. VttllUll in Feet above Trinity High- Water Mark of the J. iittiuca.
