1,207 of these were cases of Measles, 556 of Chicken-pox, 576 of
Whooping Cough, 751 of Mumps, and 262 of Ringworm.
There was a decrease in the number of cases of Measles notified,
but an increase in the number of cases of all the other diseases.
Mumps shows a very large increase, due chiefly to an extensive
outbreak in Tooting, where 372 out of a total of 752 cases occurred.

130 in Putney, 254 in Streatham, 157 in Tooting, and 253 in
