Table No. 4 shows the number of deaths from zymotic diseases for the last ten years
Small-pox "which in 1871—2 was 120 and in 1877 and 1878, 16, fell to 11. Measles
also fell from 48 to 28, but Scarlatina has made its ravages, rising from 18 to 53.
Diarrhoea has doubled itself, nearly rising to that of 73—74, the highest number of
deaths occurring in the month of July. The temperature of this month was below the
average, but then the latter part of June had been excessively high, especially the 14th,
24th, 25th, 26th and 27th, and the Registrar General observes that the fatality rose more
rapidly in London than in the Provincial towns.
