The intense heat which prevailed for some days caused many deaths besides through the agency of fire. The infant mortality in Melbourne was alarming during the days the temperature was at its highest—110 deg. to 115 deg. in the shade and nearly 150 deg. in the sun. The glaring sun produced many cases of fatal sunstroke amongst the inhabitants, and omnibus horses fell dead in the streets from the same cause.
