Diseases of the nervous system were proportionately much more fatal in Wellington than in the other boroughs. The rates were as follows :—
Auckland 1·13
Wellington 1·70
Christchurch 0·71
Dunedin 0·80

but the total number of deaths from these diseases was less by 29 than in 1888. Convulsions of children and apoplexy of adults are the two most prominent among these causes of death.

Diseases of the circulatory system were proportionately most fatal in Dunedin, then in Christchurch, and more so in Wellington than in Auckland; but diseases of the digestive system were proportionately most fatal in Auckland and least so in Wellington.

The proportion of deaths from urinary diseases was much the greatest in Wellington, 0·73 per 1,000 persons living, and least in Christchurch, 0·24. In Auckland the proportion was 0·49, and in Dunedin 0·42. Bright's disease, with 16 deaths (9 in Wellington), and acute and chronic nephritis, cause the largest number of these deaths.

Violent Deaths.—48 deaths were registered in the year in this class. Of these, 40 were accidental, 7 from suicide, and 1 of a child murdered. 13 deaths were from drowning and 3 from railway accidents. The deaths in this class were less numerous by 5 than in 1888.
