  • The remaining suburbs do not lie within borough boundaries, and particulars respecting them have not been obtained for the Vital Statistics. The total population of Auckland and its suburbs was 67,226 persons, and that of Christchurch with its complete suburbs amounted to 57,041 persons.

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.

The total births in the above boroughs amounted to 425, against 454 in October—a decrease of 29. The deaths in November were 199—an increase of 14 on the number in October. Of the total deaths, males contributed 113, females 86. Forty of the deaths were of children under five years of age, being 20·10 per cent. of the whole number; 33 of these were under one year of age.

There were fifty-five deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: Thirteen men, 66, 67, 68, 70, 71, 73, 76, 77, 78, 81, 82, 83, 86, and nine women, 71, 73, 76, 82 (two), 83, 84, 86, 90, died at Auckland; five men, 66, 68, 69, 81, 86, and three women, 68, 69, 86, at Wellington; eight men, 69, 72, 73, 74, 78, 79, 84, 85, at Christchurch; and ten men, 67 (four), 71, 74, 75, 82, 84, 92, and seven women, 66, 69, 71, 73, 75 (two), 80, at Dunedin.
