Report of Medical Officer of Health.]
scarlet fever, but not equal to that for diphtheria. The local rate for 1900 from enteric fever, while
below the rates for the two years 1899 and 1898, was higher than the rate for 1897. In the whole
Metropolis, last year's rate from this disease was markedly in excess of the rates for 1897 and 1898,
but below that for 1899. The rate for puerperal fever remains practically unchanged both in the
Parish and in the Metropolis.

* Bubonic Plague was added to the schedule during the autumn of 1900.
The prevalence of infectious diseases in the Parish is intimately connected with that of
adjacent districts. In Table 8 comparison is made between the cases reported and morbidity rates
for the Parish and the adjacent districts. The total rate for the Parish during 1900 (4.98) was
lower than that of any other of the districts, except St. Greorge, Hanover Square, where the rate was
4.52. The Parish was therefore in a better position relatively and absolutely than in 1899. The
