Most of the diseases are of the average number and
particular comment is unnecessary.
Deaths from respiratory diseases contributed 82 deaths
to the total mortality, compared with 117 during the
previous year.
There was also considerable decrease in the number
of deaths from Nervous, Circulatory, and Generative
Diseases, and compared with past years they were much
below the average.
Ages at Death.
The number of deaths under one year of
age was 109; under five, 163; and under twenty-five,
199. They respectively formed 22-l, and 10-4 per
cent, of all deaths. There was a decrease of 3-4 per cent,
in the proportion of deaths of infants under one year.
