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.

NOTE.—The figures in columns "Typhoid fever" and "Diphtheria," for the month of May, erroneously stated in last report, are now corrected

Provisional Meteorological Return for June, 1887.

• Returns not reliable for statistical purposes, as the Observatory has been dismantled, and the observations are now taken in the North-east Valley, where the climate is exceptional.

NOTE.—This table is prepared from unchecked averages, transmitted by telegraph in anticipation of the full returns, and must not be entirely relied on for compiling Meteorological Statistics.

Inspector.
