*Note.—New cases of tuberculosis first coming to knowledge otherwise than by formal notification under the 1912 Regulations may in some instances afterwards be
formally notified on Form A or Form B. Should such formal notification be received within the same year as that in which the case first came to the knowledge of the
M.O.H., it should be recorded in Cols. (2-13) or (15-18) of the Summary of Notifications overleaf, and NOT in the supplemental return UNLESS such formal notification
was improperly made, e.g., after death of the person.
In the event of a formal notification being received in respect of a person recorded in the supplemental returns for a previous year, such notification should NOT be
recorded in Cols. (2-13) or (15-18), of the Summary overleaf, but ONLY in Col. (14) or Col. (19), whichever is appropriate.
No case should be included both in the Summary of Notifications and in the Supplemental return for the same year.
