    THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY PALATINE OF DURHAM. To THE Chairman and Members of the Health Committee. Gentlemen, I beg to submit to you my Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary Condition of the Administra- tive County during the year 1893. in previous years the report contains a summary of the health report of every district Medical Officer of Health, and in each summary I have encieavoured to include all matters of public health interest or which should receive the attention of the Local Sanitary Authority. I have again included in the report a short review of the vital statistics, of the prevalence of infectious disease, and of the general sanitary condition of the Administrative County as a whole, and I have also been able to add a table (with two charts) shewing the number of births, deaths, and deaths from zymotic diseases during each month of the year. This table which is compiled from the monthly returns of deaths, is, I think, a most valuable one, and is, moreover, the I first table of its kind for so large a district, i Annual health reports were this year forwarded I from every district in the county, which is ground for congratulation, as in no previous year has a complete I set of reports been received by the Council. It Is also satisfactory to note that most of the reports were sent
