N.B—It should be here remarked, that " Old Cases" means only those cases of illness that remain on the books more than one week, and consequently involve repetition of the same case.

* The new orders actually issued for the quarter were 498 Kent Road ; 460 London Road, and 600 Borough Road. The returns of the London Road district are defective, 396 only appearing in

the weeklv return, an average for this district has therefore been taken.
