Based upon 25,066 clinical and post-mortem statements on causes of death. The Tables 1-5 contain only an abstract of 19 diseases, the complete tables refer to every disease listed in the International List of Causes of Death with numerous additional subdivisions. The first report appeared in A.J.P.H., 32, 3:251 (Mar.), 1942. The final report, to be finished in 1943, will be based on 40,000 autopsy protocols and clinical histories from 30 different hospitals.
