The following remarks apply only to the four principal boroughs:—
The births in November were 294 against 247 in October, an increase of 47. The deaths in November were 81 against 85 in October, a decrease of 4.
There were 6 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: 2 males of 76 and 75 died at Auckland; 1 male of 75 and 2 females of 77 and 72 at Wellington; and 1 female of 73 at Dunedin.
Specific Febrile or Zymotic Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases only amounted to 8 in November—an unusually low number. The corresponding number in October last was 15, and in November, 1885, 9. Of these 8 deaths, 2 were from puerperal fever and puerperal peritonitis, and 1 was diarrhœal. Two deaths again occurred from whooping-cough in Dunedin; of the 24 deaths from this disease in the last six months, 20 occurred in Dunedin, 2 in Christchurch, and 2 in Auckland.
Constitutional Diseases.—The deaths in this class were the same in number (23) as in the previous month, but nearly double the number in the month of November, 1885. Of these deaths last month, 11 were from phthisis and 5 from cancer.
Local Diseases.—These diseases caused 37 deaths in November against 35 in October. Of these, the diseases of the circulatory system caused 5 deaths in the past month against 10 in the month previous; but diseases of the respiratory system caused an increase of deaths from 11 to 14, the deaths from bronchitis having increased from 2 in October to 7 in November.
Violence.—Three deaths were registered in this class in November, one of which was suicidal by taking carbolic acid.
