With the exception of West Derby, Wavertree, and Toxteth (rural), every 
district shows a marked preponderance of Bronchitis, in fact, so much that it makes 
one feel very doubtful as to the accuracy of the stated cause of death. 
On an ordnance survey map of Exchange District I have marked the houses in 
which deaths have occurred from Tuberculosis, including deaths in the various 
Hospitals and Infirmaries of patients admitted from this district, referring the same 
to the houses from which they were received. Under Tuberculosis I have included all 
deaths reported under the terms Phthisis, Consumption, Tuberculosis, and Tabes 
mesenterica. The five years, 1 895-1 899 inclusive, have been taken. In some few 
cases, principally deaths in institutions, an incorrect or incomplete address has been 
given, and it has been impossible to locate these cases. In a few, when the number 
of the court is given but no house number, a red dot has been placed in the court, 
simply approximating the locality. 
As noted previously, a considerable part of Exchange District is occupied by 
public buildings, warehouses, and large shops, and in these areas the population is very 
sparse. Consequently only a portion of the Ward is here reproduced, giving a fair 
idea of the distribution of the cases throughout other similarly inhabited areas.
