Infectious Disease Notification.
As indicating the incidence of infectious disease in the
various sub-districts, Tables XVIII. and XV. are of great
value. Table XVIII. distributes the cases amongst the various
Sanitary Districts, and it is perhaps in this form that they are
of the greatest value, and will be much more so if, as it is to
be hoped, the arrangements of the census of 1901 will allow of
reliable populations being attributed to each of these districts.
Table XV., which replaces Table B. of former reports and
which is inserted at the request of the Local Government
Board, deals with notifications in areas of known populations,
and this is therefore at present necessarily confined to the
Registrar's Districts and Public Institutions. The following
figures very briefly summarise the statistics referred to:—
