The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :-
The births were 238 in September, against 270 in August, a decrease of 32.
The deaths in September were 100, against 101 in August, a decrease of 1.
There were 7 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: A male of 78 died at Auckland; 2 males of 79 and 71, and a
female of 65, at Wellington; 2 males of 72 at Christchurch; and a male of 70 at Dunedin.
Zymotic Diseases. These diseases caused 18 deaths in September, against 27 in August. In July these deaths were only
15 in number. There was 1 death from diphtheria in September, against 5 in August. Dietic and parasitic diseases caused 5
deaths in August, none in September.
Constitutional Diseases. The deaths from these diseases increased almost to the same extent that the deaths from zymotic
diseases decreased. The numbers were 18 in August and 25 in September. Tubercular diseases caused 16 deaths in August and
21 in September; the deaths from phthisis having been 16 in September, against 11 in August.
Local Diseases. There was an increase in the deaths from nervous diseases from 12 in August to 16 in September, in
deaths from heart disease from 5 to 8, and in deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs from 13 to 16.
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,
