Totals 12 33 19 26 90

The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :--
The births were 270 in September, against 284 in August, a decrease of 14.
The deaths in September were 90, against 103 in August, a decrease of 13.
There were 12 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards, viz., 1 male of 70 and 1 female of 77 at Auckland; 1 male
of 74 and 1 male of 92, 1 female of 70, 1 of 79, and 1 of 80 at Wellington; 1 male of 73, 1 of 79, and 1 female of 67 at Christ-
church; and 1 male of 74 and 1 of 78 at Dunedin.

Zymotic Diseases. The deaths from these causes were 14 in September, against 18 in August; the deaths from whooping
cough having been 4 less in number than in the previous month.

Constitutional Diseases. These diseases caused 10 deaths in September (of which 7 were from phthisis), against 8 in
August and 23 in July.

Local Diseases. The deaths from these diseases were 41 in September, against 64 in August. Of these, the deaths from
diseases of the nervous system were 9 in September, against 25 in August; and deaths from diseases of the respiratory system
were 14 in September, against 24 in August.

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.
