London Administrative County | 1.62 | 9.68* | |

* Including Puerperal Fever.
The notifications and rates for Walthamstow for the past four years have been as follows:—

1945 | 32 | 18.08 |
1944 | 28 | 14.23 |

The rates have been high because of the strictness of
notification at the Maternity Hospital, i.e., cases are notified which
in other areas would not be notified, especially in domiciliary
practice.
