ZYMOTIC DISEASES.
The sub-district has, during the past year, been very free from
diseases of this class, if we except whooping cough, which appears
to have resulted in death in six instances to children under 5 years
of age. The total number who succumbed to the seven forms of
zymotic disease enumerated in the table appended was 20, which is
slightly in excess of the number recorded as the result of 10
diseases of the same class in a similar table attached to my report
for 1860, where the total will be found to be but 16.
The following table accurately shows the number of deaths from
all causes and amongst all classes, ages, &c., that have been registered
during the past year, and will be fonnd to exhibit a very
satisfactory result in respect to the total deaths, when compared
with that given in my former report, the numbers being 128 in the
past year against 152 in that immediately preceding. I am justified
therefore in assuming that the sanitary operations of the year have
contributed greatly to the health of this sub-district.
