*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 67,232 persons, and that of Christchurch with its complete suburbs amounted to 57,037 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 443, against 411 in April—an increase of 32. The deaths in May were 156—an increase of 8 on the number in April. Of the total deaths, males contributed 91, females 65. Forty-nine of the deaths were of children under five years of age, being 31·41 per cent. of the whole number; 45 of these were under one year of age.

There were forty-four deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: Seven men, 69 (two), 74 (three), 77, 87, and one woman, 86, died at Auckland; four men, 69, 76, 78, 82, and two women, 70, 78, at Wellington; ten men, 66 (three), 67, 68 (two), 75, 77, 84, 86, and five women, 65, 66 (two), 71, 82, at Christchurch; and ten men, 65, 67, 68, 69, 71 (two), 75 (two), 79, 84, and five women, 67, 76, 77, 78, 79, at Dunedin.
