L. IV. Die feit dat daar soms meer sterfgevalle aangegee is as gevalle, moet verklaar word deur die onvolledigheid van die opgawes van gevalle wat by die Departement ingedien word. Separate figures not available. * Afsonderlike syfers nie beskikbaar nie. t Registration of Native deaths is incomplete and the figures for Native deaths relate to the principal urban areas only. [In the case of tuberculosis, for instance, it is estimated that at least 10,000 deaths occur from this disease (all forms) per year]. T Registrasie van Naturellesterfgevalle is onvolledig en gegewens ten opsigte van Naturellesterfgevalle het slegs op vernaamste stedelike gebiede betrekking. [In die geval van tuberkulose, byvoorbeeld, word beraam dat daar ten minste 10,000 sterfgevalle van hierdie siekte (alle vorms) per jaar voorkom.) t Separate figures are not available for the different provinces. % Afsonderlike syfers is nie beskikbaar vir die verskillende provinsies nie. 3726294
