HEALTH OF LOYDO;V' DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Report of tie Registrar-Oeneral.)
The high range of tempera ure which has prevailed
during the last fortnight has had a somewhat unfavour-
able effect on the public health. The number of deaths
registered in London in the week ending Saturday,
August 9, was 1,232, which exceeds that of the week
immediately preceding by 207, though it falls short by
96 deaths of the corresponding average of the last ten
years.
Summer cholera, infantile cholera, and choleraic diar-
rhcea proved fatal to 28 persons ; of this number 21
were children under the age of 10 years. Diarrhoea pre-
vailed to some extent, and the deaths from this disease,
which were 125 in the previous week, advanced to 211.
of this number 187 were infants under 2 years of age ;
10 were 2 years old, and under 15 years; and 14 were
20 years of age and upwards.
In the zymotic class of diseases the ether deaths were
7, ascribed to small-pox, 34 to measles, 35 to scarlatina,
36 to hooping-cough, and 54 to typhus. The aggregate
number of deaths in this class was 405 ; namely,
206 on the north side of the Thames, and 109 in the
districts on the south side of the river.

Of the 1,232 deaths, 611 were those of males and 621
of females. The deaths of children under the age of oue
year amounted to 417, or about 34 per cent, of the total
mortality. 54 persons (an unusual number) of 80 years
of age and upwards died during the week ; of this num-
ber 4 females attained the advanced aces of 90, 91, 93,
and 94 years, and a carpenter who died at Mile-end New
Town, had reached his 96th birthday.
Last week the births of 782 boys and 'BO3 girls, in all
1,585 children, were registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1846-55 the average
number was 1,423.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.860 in. ;
during the first five days the sky was generally cloudless,
and the thermometer in the Bun ranged from 105 deg. to
111 deg. Slight showers fell on Friday evening, and on
Saturday rain fell heavily during the morning. Elec-
tricity was positive with strong and moderate tension.
The air for the greater part of the week was calm and
dry, with a mean temperature of 66.1 deg., which was
1.5 deg. below the week preceding, but 4.1 (leg. above
the average of weeks for the last 38 years, and if com-
pared with the corresponding week of last year, the pre•
sent summer heat shows an excess of 5 deg. On Sunday,
Aug. 3, the mean temperature was no less than 10.3
above the average.
