If you have any duplicated content or submenu pages that are similar google will usually remove them from index
google usually omitted some entries similar to the results displayed when you search your site index.
if you search google for "site: yahoo.com" it return 449 millions result. they do display the result for important site
Few backlinks will also result to Google deindexing your site pages. Increase backlinks and you will see more pages indexed by Google.
possible cause is Duplicate Content issue or did you update your site using a different CMS or folder structure? because probably Google is just re-indexing your site, dumping the non-existing pages
