Some Important New Facts from the Chichibu Zone of the Central Part of Shikoku

Abstract

During his several years' field survey in the central part of the Shikoku Island, the writer found several new facts, which would contribute to the geology of the Chichibu Zone. Some of the new facts, especially the new localities of fossils, were reported here, and some short remarks concerning the rock facies around them were added. Among the 32 localities, 2 (Nos. 1 & 2) are of Gotlandian, the other 2 (Nos. 31 & 32) of Upper Triassic, and the rest of Permian fusulinids and corals. These localities are shown on the annexed figures 1 to 9, which correspond to those in the text.
