The fourth Table gives the number of Births and Deaths for the several quarters,
the second quarter being the highest. This is due to Infantile Diarrhoea, which was very
high, owing to a high temperature. In the other quarters the Deaths from this cause only
amounted to eighteen, the whole stress of this summer epidemic was therefore confined
to the three months referred to, as will be seen in the following Table.
