The Zymotic Death Bate is a term commonlyapplied

principle zymotic complaints:—Small Pox, Measles,
Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Diarrhoea
and "Fever"; which latter term includes Typhus,
Typhoid (or Enteric) and Puerperal Fevers. Failing the
year 1S05 the deaths from these complaints numbered
53, the Zymotic Death Pate therefore, being 0.9 per
1,000 of population, as compared with 1.5 in 1904, 1.7
in 1903, 1.04 in 1902, 1.9 in 1901, and 1.2 in 1900.
The deaths from Phthisis numbered 38 as against
37 last year, 33 in 1903, 19 in 1902, and 26 in 1901. The
Phthisical Death Pate is, therefore, 0 6 per thousand of
population as against 0.7 in 1904, 0.8 in 1903, 0.5 in
1902, and 0.7 in 1901.
The deaths from Pulmonary Diseases numbered 84
as against 126 last year, 61 in 1903, 74 in 1902, and 89
in 1901. This gives a Death Rate of 1.5, as against 2.6
last year, 1.4 in 1903, 19 in 1902, and 2.3 in 1901,
per 1,000 of population.
The deaths from Influenza numbered 7 as against 10
last year, 6 in 1903, 8 in 1902, and 7 in 1901. This gives
a Death Rate of 01 per 1,000 of population, as against
0.2 last year, 0.14 in 1903, 0.2 in 1902, and 0.2 in 1901.
To various forms of Violence, whether self-inflicted
or otherwise, 14 deaths were due, in all of which cases
inquests were held. This gives a Death Rate of 0.2,
as against 0.48 last year, 0.5 in 1903, 0.4 in 1902, and
0.43 in 1901.
