No death was recorded during the year. CONTINUED AND ILL DEFINED FEVERS. Nil return. DIARRHCEAL DISEASES. The most satisfactory of all the returns has been undoubtedly that from diarrhcea, as only 67 deaths were ascribed to it, as contrasted with a corrected average of'20.2 in the preceding 24 years. There was thus a decrease of 135 deaths. The return is the lowest recorded from 1885 to the present time, and although that for 1908 was alow one, yet the return for the year under discus sion is 50 below it. The causes of this decrease must be ascribed in a large measure to the diminution in the deaths during the third quarter, when there were only 41 registered, as compared with a corrected average of 134 This large decrease must be attributed mainly to the small number of deaths among infants in their first year of life, to which reference has been made under the heading of Infant Mortality. The deaths in ach quarter were respectively 8, 6, 41 .and 12.
