P. 207. In the table at page 206, Dr. Baly has fallen into the mistake
of supposing that the Lambeth Water Company obtained their supply from
Thames Ditton in 1849. It was not till 1852 that their works were
removed to that place. Dr. Baly has also mistaken the name and
identity of all the three Companies which supply the south districts
of London with water.
