Attached to each Quarterly Report for 1857 is a Table shewing not
only the age at death but also the diseases from which each person who
deceased in the district died daring that year. As it would make this
report unnecessarily long to give the details in full, 1 purpose stating the
mortality in each quarter for each groupof diseases, alsofrom the six most
common of the zymotic class, viz., small pox, measlos, scarlet fever,
whooping cough, diarrhoea, and fever which latter embraces common
continued fever, typhus, bilious, and nervous fevers. For detailed
information as to the maladies included in each group, I must refer to
my Quarterly Reports.
