*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 590, against 438 in February—an increase of 152. The deaths in March were 178, an increase of 31 on the number in February. Of the total deaths, males contributed 93, females 85. Seventy-four of the deaths were of children under five years of age, being 41·57 per cent. of the whole number; 68 of these were under one year of age.

There were thirty-eight deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards: Two men, 71, 84, and eight women, 69, 70, 72, 73, 74 (two), 75, 93, died at Auckland; four men, 68, 73, 76, 82, and three women, 74 (two), 82, at Wellington; seven men, 67, 68, 71, 74, 75, 79, 84, and five women, 69, 74, 79, 80, 82, at Christchurch; and three men, 67, 74, 77, and five women, 66, 67, 68, 72, 74, at Dunedin.
