(3d Twenty-Sixth Biennial Eeport DIVISION OF EPIDEMIOLOGY During the bienuium the Division of Epidemiology has carried on its usual functions. Office routine consists of: (1) recording and analyzing daily reports of various communicable diseases forwarded to this office by physicians of the State; (2) preparation of spot maps, charts and graphs to visualize the distribution of cases over the State and their relation to incidence in former years; (3) preparation of weekly bulletins showing distribution of ten principal diseases reported in 100 Counties of the State, which are mailed to all County health officers and others interested in this reporting. Since our poliomyelitis epidemic in 1935 we have added that disease to this report, making ten instead of nine diseases reported upon; (4) preparation of a monthly analytical report showing the status of infectious diseases for the State as a whole; (5) preparation of a weekly telegram and monthly report for the Surgeon General of the U. S. P. H. S., giving incidence of the reportable diseases; (6) distribution of blank forms, placards and informative literature pertaining to communicable disease con trol; (7) analysis of reports for age and sex distribution for typhoid fever, poliomyelitis, pellagra, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, etc.; (8) checking of death certificates for completing case reporting; (9) keeping an investigation record of each typhoid fever case for the purpose of correlating the incidence with the sanitary status of the area in which it occurs. When reports are received showing an unusual incidence of disease in any County, or when the local health officer requests assistance, special investigations of such outbreaks are made by the Director of the Division. Some of the more unusual diseases, whose epidemiological characters are not well understood, are investigated upon the appearance of the first case. The Division has before it records of case incidence for the entire State and is therefore in position to estimate prevalence and to know when epidemic proportions are reached. Of course, this estimation is based on reports received and is liable to errors in proportion to the degree of incompleteness of the reporting. Incidence — Herewith is given the incidence by month of reported diseases for the calendar vear 1935 for the State as a whole:
