1. The present inquiry was designed to provide information on the relative frequency of infection in non-pulmonary tuberculosis with the human and bovine type of tubercle bacillus throughout the whole of England. A total of 149 pathologists at 120 collecting centres and 32 bacteriologists at 27 typing centres took part in the scheme. Two questionnaires relating to each patient were used, one to be filled in by the laboratory workers and one by the Tuberculosis Officer or other responsible official.

1. Tubercle bacilli were isolated and typed from 112 patients in Wales. of these strains, 19 or 17·0 % belonged to the bovine and 93 or 83 % to the human type (Table 16).
