1730 THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. [No. 98

Constitutional Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases amounted to 16 in October, against 25 in the previous month, the
smaller number of deaths from phthisis (8 in October, 16 in September) nearly accounting for the decrease.

Local Diseases. These diseases, on the other hand, were much more fatal than in September, the deaths having been 44 in
September and 54 in October. The increase was chiefly owing to a larger number of deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs. Bronchitis and pneumonia were especially fatal in Wellington, the deaths from these causes in that city having been 13,
against 2 in the previous month. Of these, 12 were of children under 5 years of age.

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.

Measles. Scarlet Fever. Typhus and
other Fever. Diphtheria. Whooping
Cough. Dysentery
