"Notification of Infectious Disease" has been compulsory in the District since October, 1889. The Isolation Hospitals used by the sick are all outside the Parish. They are
the various Hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylums Board. To these Isolation Hospitals 72 of the above removals took place, while 12 went to other extra parochial Hospitals,
and some to their own homes in the suburbs of London (vide page 17 and Table II.). Many such cases in St. James's, again, are not quite accurately described as "removed
from their homes." To meet these facts and to increase the clearness of Tables A and B, I have slightly altered the wording of certain headings and the ruling of certain compartments.
