    Table A, pp. 11-12, shows the number of notifications of, and deaths from, those notifiable diseases which are admissible to the Managers' hospitals, the ratio of such notifications and deaths to the population, the number of notifications of other notifiable diseases, and the grand total of cases notified during 1901. For the first time for some years past there was a decrease in the ratio of diphtheria to scarlet fever, notwithstanding that the number of diphtheria notifications actually exceeded those of scarlet fever in 3 (IS)* different districts, viz., Fulham, Hackney, and Poplar. Facing p. 13 we give four charts tracing the course throughout the year of scarlet fever, diphtheria, enteric fever, and smallpox respectively. Each chart shows week by week (a) the notifications of the disease to which it relates, (b) the admissions, and (c) the number of patients under treatment. * Italic figures in brackets throughout are the corresponding figures for 1900.
