Charts, illustrating observations over several years, have been published by Hamer (1908–10) for London, by Niven (1910) for Birmingham and by Hope (1920–21) for Liverpool, which show that in the third quarter of the year the summer diarrhoea death curve usually reaches its maximum about a fortnight after the curve representing the numbers of flies caught in traps has reached its highest point.
