The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :—
The births were 230 in June, against 238 in May, a decrease of 8.
The deaths in June were 95, against 93 in May, an increase of 2.
There were 6 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: a male of 68 died at Auckland; 3 males, two of 82 and one of

Zymotic Diseases.—These diseases caused 16 deaths, or 16.84 per cent. of the total deaths in June, against 22 deaths,
or 23.66 per cent., in May. The number of deaths from these causes was less in June than in any one of the previous twelve
months, except August, when the number was 13. The highest number was 28 in February last. There were 3 deaths from
scarlet fever in June, against 6 in May. No death was registered in these boroughs in June as from typhoid fever.
Constitutional Diseases.—The deaths from these causes increased from 10 in May to 16 in June; constitutional diseases
having caused 8 deaths in June, against 3 in May; of these, the deaths from cancer amounted to 6 in June and 2 in May. The

system decreased from 14 in May to 10 in June, those from diseases of the respiratory organs increased from 10 in May to 15 in
June.
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.
