The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs :—
The births were 261 in February, against 317 in January, a decrease of 56. The deaths in February were 147, against 157
in January, a decrease of 10.
There were 6 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: two males of 70 and 67 and two females of 84 and 73 died at
Auckland, and two females of 83 and 73 at Wellington.
Zymotic Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases increased from 61, or at the rate of 38.85 per 100 deaths, in January, to
70, or 47.62 per 100, in February. The increase is owing to the larger number of deaths from diarrhea, these having amounted
to 36 in January and 44 in February. Of these 44 deaths, 33 were of children under one year of age. Scarlet fever caused 3
deaths in Auckland, against 4 in January. Five deaths occcurred from typhoid fever, viz., 3 at Auckland and 2 at Christ-
church.
Constitutional Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases amounted to 19, the number in January having been 27. There
were 6 deaths from cancer in February, against 3 in January. The deaths from phthisis were 7 in February, against 16 in January.
Local Diseases.—The diseases in this class caused fewer deaths than in the previous month, 35 against 45. The decrease
was spread over the various orders, but did not present any very salient feature.
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.
