Seasonal incidence.
The months of June and December, 1936, provided two peaks in the mortality returns. In 1937 the curve was complicated by three factors, the cholera epidemic, the arrival of many thousands of refugees from Shanghai, Tientsin and other parts of China affected by the Sino-Japanese hostilities, and, thirdly, the typhoon at the beginning of September.
The monthly totals of deaths are tabulated below.
