Volume Date Note
1877A Based on the attendance of Governor Bedle at the Board's first meeting (held on May 22, 1877) that is described on page 8, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. A reference to December as the required month for the Board to report to the Governor is found on page 3.
1878A Sources of the place and date of publication are found on page 31. The State of New Jersey is assumed to have been the publisher. Addenda are listed on the last page of the report.
1879A Addenda are listed on the last page of the report.
1889A Errata are listed on the last page of the report.
1890A Based on earlier reports, the year of publication is assumed to have been 1890. Similarly, although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively.
1892A Based on earlier reports, the year of publication is assumed to have been 1892. Similarly, although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. Because of its generally poor condition, the original report has several sections that are difficult to read, especially those in which the print has faded or the margins are narrow. As a result, some pages in the PDF file may require magnification in order to be deciphered.
1896A Based on earlier reports, the year of publication is assumed to have been 1896. Similarly, although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. Because of its generally poor condition, the original report has several sections that are difficult to read, especially those in which the print has faded or the margins are narrow. As a result, some pages in the PDF file may require magnification in order to be deciphered.
1902A Although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. Because of its generally poor condition, the original report has several sections that are difficult to read, especially those in which the print has faded or the margins are narrow. As a result, some pages in the PDF file may require magnification in order to be deciphered.
1904A Although there is a slight error on the title page, the correct spelling of the number of the report appears later below the tables of content on page v. Thirty-one pages of photographs are stored in a packet attached to the inside of the back cover of the original report.
1929A Although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively.
1934A Because an incorrect year (1933) appears on the title page, the year of publication is assumed to be that which appears as part of the date listed on page 5.
1940A A note about Table 19 has been added at the end of the PDF file.
1941A The year of publication is assumed to be that which appears as part of the date listed on page 5.

The year of publication is assumed to be that which appears as part of the date listed on page 3.
1963A Although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. The year of publication is also not specified, but is assumed to be 1964 because the report refers to the calendar year 1963.
1964A Although not specified on the title page, the place of publication and the name of the publisher are assumed to have been Trenton and the State of New Jersey, respectively. The year of publication is also not specified, but is assumed to be 1965 because the report refers to the calendar year 1964.

1973B An incorrect year of publication (1973) is listed on the title page and the year (1974) that appears in the letter from the Commissioner of Health on the second page in the PDF file has been substituted here. A copy of a five-page insert of corrections prepared in 1976 appears at the end of the PDF file.
1974B A copy of a two-page insert of corrections prepared in 1976 appears at the end of the PDF file.
1979CA; 1979CB; 1979CC; 1979CE; 1980CA; 1980CB; 1980CC; 1980CE; 1981CA; 1981CB; and 1981CC Although not explicitly stated in the separate reports for the 1979-1981 series, the years of publication are assumed to be those found in the second parts of the document numbers found on the reports' respective cover pages.
1979CX1 Although prepared separately by the New Jersey State Department of Labor and Industry, this short monograph has also been treated as a first companion document to the New Jersey health statistics publications for 1979.
1979CX2 Although prepared separately by the New Jersey State Department of Labor and Industry and intended only for statistical purposes as applied to health planning data, this short monograph has also been treated as a second companion document to the New Jersey health statistics publications for 1979.
1982D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the same as that found in the date of receipt appearing on the cover page of a copy maintained at the New Jersey State Library in Trenton, displayed as the second page in the PDF file. Several sections are included in the report, each identified by a lettered "tab" to facilitate access to its title and contents. Sections are numbered separately using their respective letters. However, because of the margin widths used throughout the original document, many of the page numbers are difficult to decipher. Therefore, numbers for some pages that appear in the PDF file have been handwritten while those for a few others do not appear at all, but, instead, can easily be determined from those on adjacent pages.
1983D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the same as that found in the date of receipt (October 31, 1986) appearing on the cover page of a copy maintained in Special Collections at the George F. Smith Library of the Health Sciences (of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) in Newark. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections.
1984D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the same as that found in the date of receipt appearing on the cover page of a copy maintained at the New Jersey State Library in Trenton, displayed as the first page in the PDF file. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections. Incorrect page numbers for the five tables are listed in the table of contents for Tab G, found on page G-1. With a blank page after I-17 that apparently had not been accounted for in the preparation of the table of contents for Tab I, there are also incorrect page numbers for Tables 9-14 in that section.
1985D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the year that appears in the letter from the Commissioner of Health, displayed as the second page in the PDF file. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections. Incorrect page numbers for the eight tables are listed in the table of contents for Tab B, found on page B-1. Not listed in the table of contents for Tab E, the two tables on pages E-14 and E-15 appear to duplicate those found earlier on pages E-12 and E-13, respectively. The positions of Tables 7 and 8 in Tab I are reversed in the original document.
1986D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the year that appears in the letter from the Commissioner of Health, displayed as the second page in the PDF file. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections. Incorrect page numbers for the eight tables are listed in the table of contents for Tab B, found on page B-1.
1987D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the year that appears in the letter from the Commissioner of Health, displayed as the second page in the PDF file. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections. Because of the margin width and the use of three-hole punching for the original document, there is a missing second digit of a value that appears on page A-12 in copies maintained at the State Library and the Center for Health Statistics in Trenton. Fortunately, this value is not completely obscured in the copy maintained in Special Collections at the George F. Smith Library of the Health Sciences (of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) in Newark, leading to the handwritten value of "31" that has been inserted in the PDF file. Incorrect page numbers for the eight tables are listed in the table of contents for Tab B, found on page B-1.
1988D The year of publication is not specified, but is assumed to be the same as that found in the date of receipt (October 25, 1990) appearing on the cover page of a copy maintained at the New Jersey State Library in Trenton. With a format similar to that introduced in the report for 1982, the original document for this year also uses lettered "tabs" to separate its several sections.
1989E A three-page errata appears at the end of the PDF file.
1990E Two sets of errata appear at the end of the PDF file, the first (May 21, 1993) consisting of three pages while the second (May 26, 1994) has two pages.
1995E A two-page erratum appears at the end of the PDF file.
1998F Page numbers are not listed for many pages containing tables and figures. However, because tables and figures are ordered within each of the report's several sections, any missing page numbers can be easily determined from those on adjacent pages. With the use of JPG files to improve the quality of contrast in the copies of some of the black-and-white figures (i.e., those on pages 24, 36, 49, 51, 76, 85, 87, 105, 139, 153, 200, and 201), the contents of the reverse sides of the pages on which they appear are faintly visible here.
