Notifications, of course, have to he discounted by such factors as individual promptitude in giving notice. Manv of tile notifications now coming in may refer to week-end cases. In any case, a slight upward tendency does not necessarily mean tnat the epidemic is increasing iii virulence. As a matter of fact, it retams its comparatively mild type. The total of fresh cases notified is 102. There are 52 cases in Dunedin Hospital, six ot which are pneumonic—none cf them new cases.
