The total number of deaths for 1915, shown in Table XLII.,
viz., 374, does not agree with the number in the Table of deaths on
page 19, viz.:—329.
The 45 remaining cases did not die from Pulmonary Tuberculosis,
although notified as such.
Six cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis were notified by the
School Medical Inspectors of the Education Department of the
London County Council, these cases having been discovered in
the examination of children at school.
Of the 646 cases visited by the Inspectors, or in which the information
was given by the medical attendant, in 74 this was so
indefinite that it was impossible to tabulate it, in the majority
of cases no family history being known.
