Specific Febrile or Zymotic Diseases.—The deaths from this class at the four centres with suburbs in December were 22.
Influenza was fatal at Wellington (1 death) and Dunedin (5 deaths). Whooping-cough was fatal at Auckland (2 deaths), and
mumps also caused 1 death at Auckland. Erysipelas caused 1 death at Auckland, and diphtheria also 1 at Wellington. The above,
with 2 deaths from measles, 1 from diphtheria, and 1 from puerperal septicæmia, complete the total.

Constitutional Diseases.—The mortality for December at the four chief towns was heavy (53 deaths). Phthisis and
other tubercular diseases caused 38 of the 53 enumerated.

Local Diseases.—There were 20 deaths from diseases of the nervous system, 1 of organs of special sense, 26 of the
circulatory system, 17 of the respiratory, 24 of the digestive, 9 of the urinary, 5 of the reproductive, 1 of the locomotive, and
1 of the integumentary system.

Violent Deaths.—These were 5, all accidental. One death resulted from fall over cliff, 2 from wounds, 1 from heat-
stroke, and 1 from accident at birth.

The annexed table shows the mortality for the last two months at each of the four centres, from six principal specific
febrile or zymotic diseases, and also the deaths from other inflammatory diseases of the lungs and air-passages, exclusive
only of croup and phthisis, and also from all other causes, for December, 1907. It is to be observed that the specific diseases
which give rise to sudden increases in the death-rates of towns, and the prevalence of which is closely connected with
sanitary condition and climatic influences, have been here selected.

Population, in the undermentioned Boroughs, during the Month of December, 1907.
