Questionnaire surveys have been made sporadically since 1973 in the southern Chugoku district. In some areas wild monkeys were observed directly and/or studied in more detail by asking local people. The results are presented here and compared with those of Hasebe (1923), Kishida (1950) and Takeshita (1962). The description in an older document, Bohchoh-Fudoki (1841), is also referred to in the case of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
