Local Diseases.—The greatest number of deaths was from pneumonia, from which cause there were 3 deaths at Auckland, 3 at Christchurch, and 2 at Dunedin. The mortality from other diseases of this class was not great under any one head.

Developmental Diseases.—5 deaths from premature birth and 8 from debility are the important items in this group.

Violent Deaths.—These numbered 4. A child was accidentally killed by scalding, and another strangled by the rope of its swing. The death of one adult resulted from the administration of chloroform.

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.
