The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :--
The births were 294 in November, against 298 in October, a decrease of 4.
The deaths in November were 65, against 90 in October, a decrease of 25.
There were 3 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards-viz., 1 female of 66 years at Auckland, 1 of 75 years at Christ-
church, and 1 of 76 years at Dunedin.

Zymotic Diseases. The deaths from this class were 11 in November, the same number as in each of the two previous
months. As, however, the total deaths in the four boroughs decreased from 90 in October to 65 in November, the proportion of
deaths from Zymotic diseases to all deaths in November is greater than in the previous month.

Constitutional Diseases. These diseases only caused the very small number of 6 deaths, the proportion being 9.23 per cent.-
remarkably low. The deaths from Phthisis only amounted to 3, against 14 in November.

Local Diseases. These diseases caused 33 deaths in November, against 41 in October. Of these, nervous diseases caused
10 deaths in November, against 16 in October. Deaths from diseases of circulation fell from 8 to 3; but deaths from diseases of
the respiratory organs increased from 11 to 15.

Violent Deaths. - The violent deaths increased from 3 to 6.

The subjoined table shows the mortality for the last two months at each of these four boroughs from six principal Zymotic
diseases of the Miasmatic order, and also the deaths from certain inflammatory diseases of the lungs. These causes of death
have been distinguished from the others of the classes to which they belong, as being the most important special diseases which
give rise to sudden increases in the death-rates of towns, and the prevalence of which is closely connected with sanitary
condition and climatic influence of the season on health.
