The decrease on the total number in 1891 is 41 deaths. At Wellington the mortality fell from 57 deaths in 1891 to 27 in 1892. There was a small decrease in the deaths at Christchurch, and also at Dunedin; but at Auckland the deaths increased from 48 to 54.

Diseases of the Nervous System.—From these the deaths in 1892 were 124, against 139 in 1891. Apoplexy caused 24 out of 124 in the later year, a decrease of 13; convulsions caused 23 deaths, a decrease of 2; and meningitis 18 deaths, a decrease of 3 on the previous year's figures.

Diseases of the Circulatory System.—These give a total of 102 deaths, or 24 fewer than in 1891. Out of the number (102) for last year, 73 were attributed to valvular disease of the heart, or heart-disease not more specifically defined, 13 were from syncope, and 7 from aneurism.

Diseases of the Digestive System.—The total for 1892 is 104 deaths, of which 26 were from enteritis, 12 from gastritis, 10 from dentition, 11 from peritonitis, 8 from hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, and 14 from other liver-complaints.

Diseases of the Urinary System.—The deaths were 37, against 46 in 1891. The mortality from Bright's disease is the greatest, and increased from 8 deaths in the year 1890 to 16 in 1891, and 21 in 1892. From cystitis the deaths fell from 13 to 5 last year.

VIOLENT DEATHS.

These numbered 68, an increase of 14 on the previous year. Fifty-seven of the 68 deaths in 1892 were accidental. Sixteen persons were killed by falls, and 14 by accidental drowning; 8 by burns and scalds, 3 by fractures, 3 by suffocation, and 3 infants by injuries received at birth. One death was a case of "run over by tramcar," and another "killed by railway-engine." From poison there were 2 deaths, and from sunstroke 1, which, with 5 others, completes the number of fatal accidents.

There was 1 homicidal death, a verdict of manslaughter having been given.

The suicides at the four boroughs numbered 10, against 9 in the year 1891. The means adopted were—hanging, 3 deaths; poisoning, 3; shooting, 2; drowning, 1; and cutting of throat, 1.
