    12 Parish of Saint George the Martyr, Southwark. The Deaths in the three Sub-districts are shown in the accompanying Table, the Kent Road District being the highest. TABLE No. 3. SUB-DISTRICTS. POPULATION IK 1871. POPULATION IN 1881. NUMBER OF DEATHS IN 1880—1. Kent Road 20421 21383 437 Borough Road 16695 15951 114 London Road 18961 21318 405 Total 5G077 58652 1256 TABLE No. 4. 1880-81. BIRTHS. DEATHS.

This is due to Infantile Diarrhoea, which was very high, owing to a high temperature. In the other quarters the Deaths from this cause only amounted to eighteen, the whole stress of this summer epidemic was therefore confined to the three months referred to, as will be seen in the following Table.
