Errata .—In the table for last month, by a mechanical error in the printing, two figures were displaced from 
their proper column. 
In the line of causes attributed to the Nervous System, there are three deaths recorded in the column 20 to 25 
years of age, and three also in the column 25 to 30 years of age. These figures should have been transferred to 
the line below, viz., “the Respiratory System.” The totals, however, are quite correct. They should, however 
have been stated to be the totals for one month, not three months. *
