    The district as a whole has been fairly exempt from Scarlet Fever in an epidemic form. Isolated cases have occured but these in a decreasing ratio from last year, namely :—48 in 1904, against 165 in 1903. There was a slight increase in the cases of Enteric, 16 this year, as against 9 in 1903, but the difference is too slight for us to be other than pleased at the immunity enjoyed from this disease. Tables are given showing the distribution of the Infectious Diseases and also the ages of those attacked. The discrepancy in the number of Smallpox cases notified and those treated in Hospital, is accounted for by the fact that contacts under observation in the contact wards developed the disease and were removed from there for treatment.
