all from old age, respectively 66, 70, 86, 87, 87, 89 years old. 1865 had only 4 

 from old ago, though altogether in this class. 



The 4th or Dndopmental class of Diseases, had 6 deaths. 



The 5th, ovVioknt and Accidental class of Diseases, had 1 death, in a child 13 

 days after birth, from umbilical hccmorrhage. Why an inquest was held I do 

 not know. There were 2 deaths in this class in 1865. 



The Inquests were three. The first on a man of 72, whose death arose from 

 acute inflammation of the lungs; the second on a man aged only 25, from 

 apoplexy ; the third on a man aged 69, from apoplexy, caused by excessive 

 drinking. There were only 2 inquests in June, 1865. The deaths in Hospital 

 were 14, of whom 5 were admitted from rural districts. 1865 had only Sdeaths. 

 At the 3Ialc Asiilum fur Invalids, there were the unusually large number 

 of 10 deaths, aged respectively 40, 61, 66, 70, 71, 72, 75, 85, 87, 89. Only two, 

 however, were from diseases of the organs of respiration, and said to have had 

 no connection with the prevailing catarrh, i.e., one from consumjition, the 

 other from chronic-bronchitis. June, 1865 had only half the number of 

 deaths in this institution. The movement in London for the improvement 

 of the treatment of the sick poor in the workhouses, is wortliy of the special 

 attention of the Board of Management of this Pauper Establishment. Of the 

 48 deaths, 3 died in the Glenorchy division of the district, the rest in the city. 

 30 were males, 18 females. 



In the first week of the month there died 14 ; in the second, 6 ; in the 

 third, 8 ; in the fourth, 17 ; in the last two days, 3. On eight days of the 

 month there was not a single death. Four of these days were consecutive, 

 i.e., the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th. From the 12th to the 19th was the least fatal 

 period of the month, only four deaths having occurred in the eight days. The 

 barometer fluctuated very much both in rises and falls, and so also did tem- 

 perature, elastic-force of vapor was at its maximum, Ozone beloio the month's 

 average, and a greater absence of electricity than during any other similar 

 period in the month. The most fatal period in the mouth was in the four 

 days, 22nd to 25th, inclusive, when the deaths were 14 ; no other four days 

 had more than 9, ie., — 1st to 4th. From the 7 a.m. observation on the 22nd 

 to the sunset observation of the 25th, atmospheric j^ressure fell '918 of an inch 

 that is froni the very high pressure of 30*452 to 29 '354. 



The births registered in the nionth were 73, being 5 less than in 1865.
