NOTIFICATION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
A total of 1,761 notification certificates has been received, and
copies of all these have been duly forwarded to the Asylums Board,
but twenty-four of the certificates were duplicate notifications, that
is to say the same case was reported by more than one medical man.
Table (B) K II shews the part of the Parish in which the residence
of the patient was situated, and Table G gives particulars of the
number of cases month by month, together with the hospital admissions
and discharges.
