NOTES ON TABLE B.
(See also Notes on back of Table A.)
Note 1. The present Table B is concerned with population, births, and
sickness (not with mortality) in the Sanitary district or division
to which the Table relates.
2. As stated in the heading of Col. (a), Public Institutions should be
regarded as separate localities, and the new cases of sickness
in them should be separately recorded. Workhouses, Hospitals,
Infirmaries, Asylums, and other establishments into which
numbers of people, and especially of sick people, are received,
are Public Institutions for the purpose of these statistics.
3. Comments on any unequal incidence of notifiable disease upon the
several localities, and consideration as to the local incidence of
consumption and other prevalent diseases, should be made in the
text of the Report.
