The following remarks apply only to the four principal boroughs: The births in August were 265, against 245 in
July, an increase of 20. The deaths amounted to 105, against 113 in July. There were 19 deaths of persons of 65 years
and upwards: 5 males of 80, 75, 72, and 70 (2), and 2 females of 83 and 70, died at Auckland; 3 males of 83, 69, and 65,
and 3 females of 84, 81, and 65, at Wellington; 2 males of 77 and 66 at Christchurch; and 4 males of 79, 77, 74, and
72 at Dunedin.
Specific Febrile or Zymotic Diseases.—The deaths from these diseases were more numerous in August than in July,
14 against 10. There was an increase in the number of deaths from whooping-cough from 5 in July to 11 in August, but
no death from diphtheria, which caused 3 in July, or typhoid fever, which was fatal in one case in July.

the greater number of deaths from phthisis—5 in July, 10 in August. Cancer was the cause of 5 deaths in August, against
the abnormally large number of 9 in July.
Local Diseases.—56 deaths were attributed to these diseases in the past month, a decrease of 4 on the number in July.
There was an increase of 3 deaths from diseases of the nervous system, and 4 from heart disease and other diseases of the
