The deaths from Zymotic Diseases were 135 in March, against 83 in February. The number was 59 in March of last year.
The increase since last month is largely attributed to the number of deaths from Measles, which appears to have been epidemic
in Auckland; the number of deaths in the borough from that cause having been 45. Of these, 5 were children under 1 year, 30
children of 1 to 4 years, and 10 persons between 5 and 39 years of age. There was 1 death in Auckland from Typhoid Fever, which
caused 11 deaths in Christchurch. The deaths from Zymotic Diseases in Christchurch numbered 20-within 1 of the total number
of deaths during February. One death occurred from Measles in Christchurch, and 5 in Wellington. There was not one death
from Measles in Dunedin, in which borough the deaths from this cause were rather numerous in the latter months of 1874. There
was a small increase in the deaths from Constitutional Diseases, the deaths from Phthisis having increased from 7 to 13. Local
Diseases were also more numerous; the deaths from Diseases of the Nervous System havin been more than double what they
were in the previous month, and the deaths from Diseases of the Respiratory System having also been on the increase.
