HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The deaths in London were more numerous in the
week thet ended last Saturday than they had been
in any previous week since January. They rose to
1,677, of which number 741 occurred under 20 years
of age, 498 in the period of life 20.60 years, and 427
at SO years of age and upwards,
The average number of deaths for the eighth week
of ten previous years, 1854.63, is, with a co:reetion
for increase of population, 1,467. The present re
turn exhibits an excess of 210 deaths.

While the mortality from phthisis (157 dee.thsJis
considerably less than it was in previous weeks, that
from bronchitis has increased. The latter disease
was fatal in 304 cases in the week, pneumonia in
97, heart disease in 90 cases. The deaths from dig,-
ease of the heart in the last four weeks were 74, 60,
and 90. The corrected averages of bronchitis, pneu-
monia, and heart disease for the eighth week of the
year are respectively 186, 95, and 62. It is plain
from the comparison that the present season has de-
veloped bronchial affections with unusual effect.

An infant aged three weeks was poisoned by a
lozenge which contained the 48th part of a grain
of morphia. A child, aged two years, died from the
scratch of a kitten.

Nine nonagerians died in the ;week.
Last week the births of 1,019 boys and 981 girls,
in all 2,000 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854.63
the average number (corrected) was 2,057-
METROPOLITAN WATERS IN FEBRUARY, 1864.

These waters, according to the analyses of Dr.
Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., are generally
purer than in the previous month. The Thames
waters containing the smallesteamount of impurity
are the Chelsea and West Middlesex. The South"
wark water possessed a milky aspect. The Kept
water was free from surface impurity. The Nevr
River contained less total impurity than in last
month. The well at Camberwell contained much
organic impurity, consisting in part of sewage
products.

The table is read thus—Loch Katrine water contains in the
gallon 2•3 i degrees or grains of foreign matter in solution,
of which •605 degrees or grains aro of vegetable or animal
origin.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.718 in•
The reading fell to 29.52 in. on Sunday, and rose to
29.82 in. on Wednesday. The mean temperature of
the air in the week was only 33 deg., which is 6'5
deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years'
(as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily
temperature was below the average throughout the
week, and very considerably below it on the first
four days. The highest day temperature in the
week was 39.3 deg., on Wednesday. The lowest
night temperature occurred also on Wednesday, and
was 24.4 deg. The range of the thermometer on
that day and also in the week was, therefore, 14'9
deg. The change of temperature on Friday and
Saturday was very small. The difference between
the mean dew-point temperature and air tempera'
.ure was 4.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of
the air was 84, complete saturation being repro'
rented by 100. On the last two days the humidity
approached saturation. The wind was in the north-
east. The amount of rain 0.16 in. Snow fell 9°
the first five days.
