The following remarks apply only to the four principal boroughs:—
The births in January were 259, against 212 in December, an increase of 47. The deaths in January were 122, against 75 in December, an increase of 47. At Auckland the increase was from 15 to 43 deaths, and at Wellington from 19 to 41. There was greater mortality at these towns from nearly all causes in January than in December. Amongst the causes are observed diarrhoeal diseases of infants, diseases of the digestive system and debility in infants.
