The months in which the deaths from epidemic
diseases occurred, and the mean temperature of each
quarter are shown in the following table.
The largest number is seen to have occurred in the
first and third quarters, and by far the least in the fourth
quarter, the number in the second quarter being intermediate
in amount. The only climatic condition which
appears to have had any direct relation to the periods of
fatality from these diseases during the last year was the
rainfall, which was much in excess of the average during
the fourth quarter—the period of least fatality—and
considerably below the average during the first and
third quarters—the periods of the greatest fatality from
such diseases.
