Throughout the table, births taking place in the City of London Lying-in Hospital, but not belonging to Finsbury, have been excluded, and the births taking place in City Road Workhouse, &c , belonging to Finsbury, have been included. †Contains the Corrected Rates calculated by the Medical Officer. The rates in the above table are in all cases higher than those in Table F., the result of the corrections made, as already stated, in the figures. These figures do not, however, invalidate the conclu sions drawn from the “crude” rates, viz., that whatever the causc, apart from weather conditions, Finsbury is improving, so far, at least, as regards infantile mortality. The third Infantile Mortality Rate is that given by the Registrar General. It also is a corrected rate, and serves for comparison with other Metropolitan Boroughs This comparison has been made in Table H. on page 27.
