The following remarks apply only to the four principal boroughs:—
The births in February were 204, against 246 in January, a decrease of 42.
The deaths amounted to 105, against 85 in January.
There were 15 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: 2 males of 75 and 69, and 2 females of 79 and 72, died
at Auckland; 4 males of 81, 70, 69, and 65, and 1 female of 73, at Wellington; 2 males of 83 and 66, and 1 female of
67, at Christchurch; and 2 males of 73 (both), and 1 female of 76, at Dunedin.
Specific Febrile or Zymotic Diseases.—The number of deaths from these diseases increased from 11 in January to 38
in February. This was owing to a much greater mortality from diarrheal diseases, which caused 7 deaths in January and
36 in February. Of these 36 deaths, 31 were of infants under 1 year of age, and 4 of children between 1 and 2 years. The
number of diarrheal deaths in February was exactly one-half of the number in the four boroughs during the whole of 1888,
