The second from 1831 to 1860, when the registration of the 
causes of death which you ask was suspended. For a part of this 
time 1851-1860 I find in the reports of our Board of Health 
indicated epidemical exaggerations of Scarlatina in the years 1852 
and 1857. 
Measles 1855, ’56, and ’57. 
Hooping Cough ’52, ’53, ’56, ’57, ’60. 
The third before 1830, for which I have made extracts from 
the manuscript table in our archives, going back to 1774. 
In these extracts the numbers for scarlatina seem to have no 
value, perhaps because this disease in former times may not have 
been generally and specifically known. In the numbers for hoop- 
ing cough may probably be entered cases of capillary bronchitis. 
The measles is a disease generally known since a long time, and 
as I found the numbers of deaths indicating the periodical exacer- 
bations, I have supposed them to be of value for you. 
I have added the total of deaths from all causes, and the mean 
population for the years corresponding. 
Most regretfully yours, 
FRTH. BERG.
