Violent Deaths.—Of a total number of 4, three were accidental. A child was suffocated from being overlain, one adult died of burns, and another was found dead in Wellington Harbour. There was one case of suicide by strangling.

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.
