* Inclusive of 36 from Influenza.
It will be seen from the above Table that the deaths
from the seven principal epidemic diseases were all under
the corrected decennial average, and that the total deaths
from them were no less than 84 below this average. Other
zymotic diseases, in which are included, membranous
croup, puerperal fever and influenza were 34 above
the average, but influenza alone is responsible for 36
deaths.
