Prior to 1908 the general heading "Tuberculosis" included the subheading "Tubercular meningitis Acute hydrocephalus." To what extent the heading " Acute hydrocephalus ' included non-tubercular hydrocephalus it is impossible to say, though deaths from " tubercular meningitis, acute hydrocephalus "in 1907 numbered 115, as against 83 from " tubercular meningitis m 1908.

Table H.-Tuberculosis of the Respiratory System: Average Yearly Number of Deaths per 10,000 of Population by Sex and in each Age-group.

Table J.—Tuberculosis (all Forms): Average Yearly Number of Deaths per 10,000 of Population by Sex and in each Age-group.

Apoplexy and Diseases of the Arteries.—During the past six years the crude death-rate from these conditions has remained fairly constant. Last year the rate showed a slight increase on that for the previous year.

Kidney or Briqht's Disease.—The number of deaths in which this disease was certified as the cause in 1934 was 560, one less than in 1933. As will be seen from Table E, the death-rate from nephritis although varying from period to period at different ages, shows on the whole no maiked tendency increase or decrease.
