  • 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, at the Census of March, 1901.

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 356, against 440 in May—a decrease of 84. The deaths in June were 186, an increase of 7 on the number in May. Of the total deaths, males contributed 91, females 95. Forty-five of the deaths were of children under five years of age, being 24·19 per cent. of the whole number; 36 of these were under one year of age.

There were forty-seven deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: Six men, 66, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, and four women, 66, 72, 76, 80, died at Auckland; two men, 65, 70, and seven women, 65, 68, 69, 76, 79, 80, 81, at Wellington; nine men, 68, 69, 71, 75, 78, 81, 86, 87, 88, and four women, 72, 73, 77, 78, at Christchurch; eight men, 65 (two), 70, 72, 73, 76, 79, 82, and seven women, 71, 72 (two), 73, 76 (two), 97, at Dunedin.
