The deaths in November were 114, against 129 in October. Zymotic diseases caused 25 deaths in November, against 16 in
October. Of those diseases in November, typhoid fever caused 6 deaths (3 in Auckland and 3 in Christchurch), and dysentery
and diarrhoea 9 deaths; only 7 deaths from the latter causes having occurred in the boroughs previously since May last.

The number of deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs was 19 in November, against 22 in October.

The violent deaths were 5 in November; the number (17) in October having been exceptionally large. Of these deaths, one
was that of a child, from congestion of the lungs, caused by immersion in water. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of
Manslaughter against the mother on account thereof.

In November, 1874, the deaths from the 7 boroughs amounted to 108. There were then 41 deaths from zymotic diseases,
against 25 in November of this year. The larger number in November, 1874, was principally owing to the prevalence of measles
at that time.
