It will be seen from the foregoing tables that during
the year 1934, twenty-eight cases of tuberculosis were
notified and twenty-one deaths recorded from this
disease. On two other occasions only during the last
ten years has the mortality been so high, i.e., in 1925 and
1930. Non-notified tuberculosis deaths—cases not
notified as tuberculosis and not recorded in the registers
of the Department during life—were responsible for 28
per cent, of the total tuberculosis deaths.
