The deaths from Zymotic Diseases were 25 in September to 19 in August. Among the causes of death in this class there
was an increase in the number of cases of typhoid fever from 5 to 8; and there were 3 deaths from alcoholism. The deaths
from constitutional diseases were by 3 less numerous than in August; and the deaths from local diseases showed a decrease of 8
in number. In the last class there was a marked difference between the number of deaths from diseases of the respiratory
system in the two months, the number having been 33 in August, and 22 in September.

The mortality last month compared favourably with that in September 1874, when, with a less population, the number of
deaths was only 5 less than in September 1875. There was a larger mortality in September 1874, from Zymotic diseases (33)
than in September 1875 (25). Influenza caused 12 deaths in the former period, but does not appear among the causes of death
in September 1875.
