Abstract
The author describes the ceremony of the Manch shamans he observed at Ta-hung-ch'i-ying-tzu near Aigun in 1944. The ceremony had specific Manchu characteristics other than those normal an common traits in all northern shamanism. The Manchu characteristics could be observed also in the form of their dwellings. The author, a human geographer, has described in this paper the relations he has observed between shamanism and the physical environment.
