    Foreword THis booklet contains revised notes on the diagnosis of occupa- tional diseases prescribed under the National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act, 1965. It follows the lines of its predecessors but in addition contains a brief section on the benefits available and the determination of claims. The sections on pneumoconiosis and byssinosis have been omitted in this edition as they are now the subject of a separate booklet ~Pneumoconiosis and Allied Occupa- tional Chest Diseases’. As before the notes do not purport to be exhaustive and are not concerned with treatment but it is hoped that they may be found useful by General Practitioners dealing with these diseases. J.
