![The case rate of Scarlet Fever per 1000 of the jxipulation was therefore, 1.2 as compared with 3.8 for 1945. (The coi’responding rate for England and Wales was 1.38, and death rate .00). There were no cases of Typhoid or Para-typhoid Fever notified. The case rate and death rate for these per 1000 population were therefore both nil (For England and Wales in 1946 the Typhoid and Para-typhoid case rates hespeotively were .01, and .02 whilst the combined death rate of these two fevers was 0.00). Four cases of Pneumonia were notified, and three of tliese recovered. The I'egisterd deaths from this disease (all forms) numbered 8. Encephalitis Lethargica, Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis, Acute Folo-myelitis, and Dysentery (sonne).—No notifications. Ophthalmia Neonatorum—One case, with ensuing recovery. One notification of Puerperal Pryexia was received. (N.B.— This term includes Puerperal Fever). The case rate for Puerperal Pyrexia is better expressed in relation to the number of births registered rather than to the population!- When calculated on this basis the rate was 2.7 per 1,000 total births (i.e live and still births) as compared with nil in 1945. The corresponding rate for all England and Wales was 8.50. One maternal death was recorded, so that the Maternal ^Mortality (all causes) rate was therefore 2.7 per 1,000 total dive and still) bi]-ths as compared with nil in 1945. Tuberculosis.—Under the Tuberculosis Regulations 13 cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis '6 males and 7 females) and 3 of Other Forms of Tuberculosis (1 male and 2 female)) were notified. This number excludes transfers inward from H.M. Foi’ces and else- where—viz. 4 males, pulmonary and 1 male non-pulmonary. Of those notified during the year seven pulmonary cases (4 males and 3 females) were admitted to Sanatorium, and 2 non-pulmonary females are known to have received hospital treatment, whilst 2 died (I male pulmonary and 1 female non-pulmonary). Among pi'cviously notified and inward tvansfer cases, (and including re- admittances) 9 cases (7 ihales, 2 females, pulmonary) were admiU ted to Sanatoiium.
