Mumps are prevalent in the Taien district, as well as in South Otago and Central Otago, and there is a considerable incidence of measles in South Otago and Dunedin. Mumps were prevalent in North Otago in May and June, but are now less troublesome there Cases of chicken pox have been reported from Dunedin schools and also in isolated places in North Otago and South Otago, although these have not been so prevalent as influenza, mumps and measles, which have selected school attendances considerably.
