NOTE 1.—The figure of cases heard in each year are not related to the number of men applying in that year for provisional registration.
NOTE 2.—The figures in brackets have been adjusted to take into account to take into account decisions of the appellate tribunal or, on reconsideration, by local tribunals. Owing to the inevitable time-lag of the appeals procedure, the adjusted figures for any given period do not necessarily refer to the same cases as the unadjusted figures.
