Notification of Tuberculosis.—Two cases were not notified until
after death. One was a case of Tubercular Meningitis in an infant
of seven months, the other was a woman of 43 years with Pulmonary
disease of long duration, who had recently moved into the district,
and the doctor in attendance knew that the case had been previously
notified in other areas, and did not think it was necessary to notify
again.
