The deaths from the classes of disease shown in the above Table among Europeans show an increase of 3, and with the exception of last year shows the lowest total for the last 19 years amongst Europeans; 5 deaths are reported from cholera which in this Colony has been mostly of a sporadic type. In my opinion always, but in that I am not borne out by my confrères. These five deaths are reported from the European Hospitals.
