The deaths in June were 113, against 111 in May. Diarrhea, which caused 1 death in May, was fatal in 5 cases last
month. From Typhoid Fever there were 4 deaths, as in May. Scarlatina caused 9 deaths: 2 at the Thames, 2 at Wellington,
and 5 at Dunedin, against a total of 7 for May.
The deaths from diseases of the Respiratory System show a total of 16, against 8 in May. There were at Auckland 3 cases,
at the Thames 2, at Wellington 6, at Hokitika 1, and at Dunedin 4.
Of violent deaths, one case was that of a man 40 years of age, who was accidentally killed by injury to his brain, caused by
a fall downstairs; the other was a death from a wound in the intestines, from a fall on a stump of a tree.
In June, 1875, there were 152 deaths in the boroughs, or 39 more than occurred in June, 1876. Comparison of causes
shows that there were in June, 1875, 6 cases of Measles, against none in 1876; and 17 of Typhoid Fever, against 4 last month;
but, on the other hand, Scarlatina caused 9 deaths in June last, against none in 1875. There were 28 deaths from diseases of the
Respiratory System in June, 1875, against only 16 in the corresponding month this year. The excess of deaths for June, 1875,
over those in June, 1876, being largely attributable to that cause.
