Constitutional Diseases.—The chief causes of death among these diseases were cancer and phthisis. The former caused 45 deaths, almost equally divided in number between the four boroughs, and the latter 141, of which 4 were children under 5 years of age. The largest number of deaths from phthisis occurred in Dunedin.

Local Diseases.—Diseases in this class caused 532 deaths, or 38·58 per cent. of the total number. Diseases of the nervous system caused 159 deaths, of which 57 were of children under 5 years of age. It will be observed that diseases of the organs of circulation (diseases of the heart, &c.) caused 79 deaths, 1 having been that of a child. Thus diseases of the heart caused 1 in every 10 deaths of persons over 5 years of age. Diseases of the respiratory organs caused 143 deaths; of these, the deaths of children under 5 years of age amounted to 67; bronchitis and pneumonia having been the principal causes of death.

Violent Deaths.—Forty-four accidental deaths occurred in these boroughs during the year; among them were those of 8 persons drowned, 2 deaths were homicidal, and 9 persons committed suicide. Thus, on an average, 1 of every 25 deaths was from accident or violence.

Of the 1,379 deaths in the boroughs 130, or nearly 10 per cent., were of persons over 65 years of age; 24 persons were upwards of 80 years of age at death; and 1 male reached the ripe age of 90, and 1 female the age of 91.
