    Phthisis.—From Phthisis alone there have been four deaths, as compared with 10 in the year 1908, which is equal to a death-rate of 2-9 per cent, of the deaths from other causes. Infantile and Senile Deaths.—In infants under one year of age, I find that there have been 23 deaths, the death- rate at this age period being equal to 96'2 per 1000 births. In the year 1908 there were 23 infantile deaths, exactly the same as this year, equal to an infantile death-rate of 105-0 per 1000 births. In persons over 65 years of age there have been 54 deaths compared with 48 in the previous year. Zymotic Deaths.—The diseases included under this heading have been responsible for only three deaths, which is most satisfactory, and the lowest number recorded, at any rate, since the year 1900. The Zymotic death-rate is thus equal to •29 per 1000. In the,previous year there were 14 deaths from diseases of this class, equal to P38 per 1000. I append hereto a table giving a list of the deaths from Zymotic diseases. 1909 1908 1907 1906 1905 1904 1903 1902 1901 1900 Totals Measels — 2 6 — 1 — 2 — G 17 Whooping Cough .. — — 8 2 — — 10 — 3 18 Typhoid Fever 1 — 1 •— 2 — 1 1 2 3 11 Diarrhoea 1 9 1 11 5 5 (] 1 5 1 45 Scarlet Fever 1 1 — — - 1 1 1 4 — 9 Diphtheria .. — 2 — — 1 8 5 13 2 — 31
