During the year, 169 notifications were received of all forms of tuberculosis—
pulmonary 125 and non-pulmonary 44, and there were 12 deaths of un-notified
cases (8 pulmonary and 4 non-pulmonary), making a total of 181 new cases during
the year.
Information was received of the removal into the district of 55 tuberculous
persons, included in number of notifications received.
Once again I want to call attention to the large number of inward transfers.
This is due in large part to the expansion and development of the district.

Table: The following are particulars of cases notified on Forms I and II during tiic year:—
