    Of tli(! total luiiiiber of deatlis recorded during tlie past year, I note there were ‘2^^5 deaths of persons at 70 years of age and upwards. This is a decrease from the year immediately preceding, as will be seen by the following table. We have had 2 deaths who reached the great age of 96 years and 9 who reached the age of 90 and upwards. Our favourable climatic conditions in the Winter Season are, no doubt, very beneficial to old people, and they have a, better chance of reaching a great age, by reason of the fact that we are not so subject to those extreme variations of climate which are so deadly to old people. The usual winter weather here being so bright and sunny, together with the dryness of our sub- soil and the perfected standard of our health conditions, are very favourable to the elderly. This is, no doubt, why people live to the fullest limit of their possibilities.
