    It was possible to trace 977 of the cases to their conclusion, in comparison with the 9:30 traced in the previous year. In the traced cases tliere was an abnormality rate of 9.1% which is lower than the 1931 rate of 16.5%. It should be noted that 752 cases were not traced and it is reasonable to presume that most of those terminated normally.
