Constitutional Diseases.—There was an increase in the number of deaths in this class from 13 in June to 19 in July. Of the latter, cancer caused 4 deaths, and phthisis 10.

Local Diseases.—Of the diseases in this class, those of the respiratory system caused 22 deaths in July against 15 in June; but the deaths from diseases of the nervous system were not quite so numerous in July. The full number of deaths in this class amounted to 53 in July, and 52 in June.

The subjoined table shows the mortality for the last two months at each of these four boroughs from six principal specific febrile or zymotic diseases, 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.
