[No. 72

The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :-
The births were 267 in June, against 259 in May, an increase of 8.
The deaths in June were 103, against 92 in May; an increase of 11.
There were 6 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards, viz., 2 males of 65 and 88 at Auckland; 2 males of 68 and 74
at Wellington; 1 male of 65 at Christchurch; and 1 male of 78 at Dunedin.
Zymotic Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases were 10 fewer than in May; the numbers having been 25 in May, and
15 in June. Of these, the deaths from typhoid fever amounted to 2 in June, against 5 in May; and the deaths from dysentery
and diarrhea to 3 in June, against 10 in May. Scarlet fever caused 1 death in Wellington in June.
Constitutional Diseases.—These caused 20 deaths in June, against 13 in May. The deaths from cancer increased from 2 in
May to 5 in June. There was also a slight increase in the number of deaths from phthisis.
Local Diseases.—The deaths in June from these diseases amounted to 38, or more in number than in May; the numbers
having been considerably in excess of the deaths from those diseases in April.
Violent Deaths.—There was a considerable increase in the number of these deaths in June. Of the total number 13, 3 were
of persons murdered at Dunedin, 1 was a case of manslaughter, and 2 were cases of suicide.
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.
