BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON.

The return of births and deaths in London,
issued by authority of the Registrar General, states that
the deaths in London, which had previously ranged above
1,100 in a week, fell to 1,065 in the week that coded last
Saturday. After correction is made for cholera epidemics
within the period of comparison, it will be found that the
deaths of last week were less by about fifty than they would
have been if the overage rate of mortality in correspond-
ing weeks of ten previous years had prevailed.
The births in last week exceeded the deaths in the same
time by 781.
