The following remarks apply only to the above four principal boroughs:—
The births were 290 in May, against 295 in April, a decrease of 5. The deaths in May were 93, against 125 in April, a decrease of 32.
There were 14 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: 4 males aged 87, 70 (two), 69, and 1 female of 75, died at Auckland; 2 males of 75 and 66 at Wellington; 3 males of 75, 69, and 66 at Christchurch; 3 males of 73, 71, and 66, and 1 female of 73, at Dunedin.
Zymotic Diseases.—The mortality from these complaints fell from 27·20 per cent. of the total deaths in April, to 22·58 per cent. in May. Diarrhoea, which was fatal in 12 cases at Auckland during April, caused 4 deaths there in May. Typhoid fever, which contributed 4 to the number of deaths at Auckland for April, caused none at that town in May.
Measles and scarlet fever are observed at Dunedin in May, but only 1 death from each; and 3 deaths from typhoid fever at Wellington.
The mortality at the four towns collectively for May last is slightly lower than for May, 1883.
