Constitutional Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases increased in number from 17 in May to 25 in June. Cancer caused 4 deaths in June, against 7 in the previous month. Phthisis was more fatal, having caused 10 deaths, against 8 in May; and other tubercular diseases caused 7 deaths in June, against 1 in May.

Local Diseases.—These diseases caused 40 deaths in June, against 45 in May. There was a slight decrease in the number of deaths from diseases of the circulatory system, viz., 7 in May and 5 in June, and an almost entire absence of deaths from diseases of the digestive system, the number having fallen from 9 in May to 1 in June, the last having been from hernia. Diseases of the nervous and of the respiratory system, respectively, caused the same number of deaths in each month, viz., 13 and 12.

Violence.—Five deaths in this class were recorded in June. Of these, 2 were from drowning and 2 were suicidal.

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.
