Whooping Cough: only 24 deaths were registered (3
being those of non.parishioners), as against 48 in 1890, and
an average of 33.1 during the previous 10 years.
Typhus Fever was not, so far as I am aware, present in
the Parish during the year, and only one death from it has
been recorded in the Parish since 1881.
Enteric (or Typhoid) Fever: 14 deaths were registered,
or two more than in 1890, but less than the corrected
average for the previous 10 years. Of these 14 deaths,
however, 5 were those of non.parishioners, in St. George's
Hospital, leaving 9 deaths of Parishioners, one of which
was certified as from " Gastric Fever."
None of our Parishioners died of this disease in Public
Institutions outside of the Parish.
Simple Continued Fever: one death appears under this
heading, having being registered as from " Low Fever."
Diarrhæa; 39 deaths were registered, being 10 more
than in 1890, and 25 above the average of the previous
10 years. Of these deaths, however, 8 were those of non.
parishioners, leaving 31 of parishioners (one of which was
certified as from Dysentery), or only 2 more than in 1890.
I may note that the temperature of the fourth quarter was
45 1, or 14 degrees above the average of the previous 120
years, and 0.8 degrees above the average of the previous
50 years, while the temperature of the rest of the year was
below the average. The mean temperature of the year
was 48'4 degrees, or slightly below the average of 120
years, and 0.8 below the average of the previous 50 years.
No death from English Cholera was registered.
Influenza: no less than 46 deaths were registered in the
Parish from this disease (as against 27 in 1890), and of
these 42 were those of persons over 20 years of age, and
