VITAL STATISTICS.
Wellington, May 16. The following are the vital statistics for April : Borough. Population. Births. Deaths. Auckland ... 14,163 51 21 Wellington ... 19,467 79 47 Christchurch ... 14,186 59 25 Duneclin ... 23,261 80 35 Thames ... 5,003 12 8 Napier ... 5,415 15 5 Wanganui ... 3,661 11 3 Nelson ... 6,805 19 6 Lyttelton ... 3,476 9 2 Timaru ... 3,389 8 8 Oamaru ... 4,927 25 10 Hokitika ... 2,853 9 2' Caversham ... 3,425 9 6 Invercargill ... 4,055 17 3 Totals ... 393 189 It has been considered desirable this month to remodel the form of the monthly report, in order to comply with urgent requests, by giving information as to the number of births and deaths in some other boroughs than those mentioned in the former report. This information has therefore been given in the case of all
boroughs, except Sydenham, haying a population of 3000 and over, Hokitika being included, as it was mentioned iu former reports. The information has not been obtainable for Sydenham, on account of the want of local information as to the boundaries of that borough, and the impossibility therefore of ascertaining whether certain births and deaths occurred within or without that borough. Of the above deaths 120 were of males, and 69 females. Ninety-one of the deaths were of children under five years of age, being 48.14 per cent, of the whole number. Sixty-four of these were of children under one year of age.
