The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :-
The births were 245 in September, against 280 in August, a decrease of 35.
The deaths in September were 89, against 88 in August, an increase of 1.
There were 11 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: two males of 72 and 67, and three females of 75, 70, and 67, died
at Auckland; a female of 68 at Wellington; two males of 80 and 71, and a female of 65, at Christchurch; and a male of 72, and
a female of 82, at Dunedin.

Zymotic Diseases. - The deaths from these diseases were 17 or 19.10 per cent. of the total deaths in September, against 13
or 14.77 per cent. in August. Of these deaths in September, 4 occurred from scarlatina, against 1 in August; of these, 3
occurred in Auckland. There was 1 death in Wellington from typhoid fever.

Constitutional Diseases. - These diseases caused 10 deaths in September, against 17 in August. Of these, the deaths from
phthisis were 7 in September, and 11 in August.

Local Diseases. - The deaths from these causes were 47 in September, against 41 in August. Of these, deaths from diseases
of the nervous system were 19 in September, and 10 in August; those from diseases of the respiratory system 11 and 17, and
those from diseases of the digestive system 7 in September, and 3 in August, respectively.

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.
