S The following work in addition to routine was performed by the
B' Board of Health Laboratory during the month.
S::: T" :'he only work of an investigative nature completed iq May
1: was a study of tuberculosis in the inhabitants of the Panama
:' 0anal Zone, bearing chiefly on its incidence, duration, and type
of distribution in the negro race. A synopsis of the. findings

; A review of the pathological records at the Ancon Board of
i: healthth Laboratories covering the period of time beginning Decem-
ber 11, 1909, and ending May 6, 1915, reveals 452 protocols on
l'. ta cases of tuberculosis; 163 protocols in ,which tuberculosis
ii: a coincident factor and 88 specimens of surgical tissue which
: contain, ed a tuberculous process. Six of the individuals from
I who:::' the surgical specimens were taken were later included in
the autopsy lists.
:L,-< jThe percentage of fatal cases of tuberculosis in this study was
,: 4i$,l: while in the anatomical lists preceding this period of time

the fire plugs.
: Latrines.-The first three days pit closets were used. In the
:meantime flush tank closets were connected to fire plugs and the
sewage flushed.into the storm sewer, the house being built similar

- strict where the box tars are located and pit closets are in use, these
; being surrounded by zinc houses, and covered by box seats.

ij.from the Army have been in charge of policing the camp. Each
m i:an was: given a section of the camp over which he had entire
,: control, and authority to make arrests for sanitary nuisances.
;, special Foreman Braden and nine men have charge of the sanita-
tion. The closets are oiled daily and all sanitary defects remedied.
