    In the tabulation given below the number of cases of influenzal pneumonia notified from each Ward is compared with the number of deaths from influenza, distinction being made between deaths with and without pulmonary complications. Of the 25 deaths due to influenza with pulmonary complications, all of which it is assumed should have been notified during life, 2 have to be excluded as the deceased persons were not in residence in the Borough at the time of their fatal illness.
