The older statistics do not give an accurate comparison
with 1911 and 1912, because the heading of Diarrhoea did not,
before these dates, include the names mentioned above, but
simply cases registered as epidemic or summer diarrhoea, or
epidemic, zymotic or infective enteritis.
It is usual now to consider the infantile mortality in this
case as being for all children under two years of age.
The deaths from this disease occurred among the inhabitants
of the various Wards as follows:—
East 11. North 9. North-West 7.
South 3. South-East 5. South-West 2.
The following table shows the periods of the year and
the localities in which deaths from Diarrhœa and Enteritis
occurred in children under two years of age, together with
particulars as to sex:—
