Deaths, occurring at hospitals, of persons not residents of the borough wherein the hospital is situated have been allotted in each case to the borough where the disease was contracted, and not to that in which the death actually took place.

Of the total deaths, males contributed 134, females 107. Eighty-eight of the deaths were of children under 5 years of age, being 36·51 per cent. of the whole number; 77 of these were under 1 year of age.

The following remarks apply to the four principal centres only—i.e., to the four chief boroughs with their suburban boroughs as above given: The births in March were 375, and the deaths 171. There were thirty-two deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: three men of 65, 68, and 84, and nine women of 65 (two), 70, 74, 75 (two), 76, 84, and 89, died at Auckland; four men of 65, 68, 69, and 72, and three women of 70, 72, and 79, at Wellington; three men of 66 and 72 (two) at Christchurch; five men of 67, 72, 76, 78, and 89, and 5 women of 77, 81, 82, 85, and 87, at Dunedin.

The following Table shows the Causes of the Deaths of Persons of both Sexes under 5 Years of Age and 5 Years and upwards, and the Proportions per Cent. of Deaths from each Cause, in the Boroughs of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin (including in each case the Suburban Boroughs, as above given), that were registered during the Month of March, 1894.
