The Registrar-General gave permission at the latter part of the year 1904 for details of births to be supplied by the Sub-Registrars. These details were at once supplied to us, so that I am now able to exclude the births of infants whose mothers were non-residents. Of the 1,014 registered births in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, a large proportion of which took place at the British Lying-in Hospital, Endell Street, as many as 568 were of infants whose mothers were non-residents in the Borough. The corrected numbers are as follows:— District Corrected number of Births ot Residents. Corrected Birth-rate per 1000. Legitimate. Illegitimate. Total. 1907. 1906.
