    1. When we compare the shale of the homestead of the head family with that of the branch family, we find that the newer a branch family is, the smaller is the male of its holrmestead. From the way in which the home stead is put to use, wipe see clearly that this difference in the scale of homesteads implies that the branch. family system. is subordinate to the head family.
    2. The eddy field andA rice-nurseries within the boundary of homesteech are mostly owned by the head fanmilies, and the ranch fagilies are, obliged to depend upon the head family for rice-nursery. The standard scale of the homestead of branch family is generally the remainder of the homestead of the head family when the paddy field and rice-nursery are taken away air from it.
    3. It is this reduced scale of the homestead. of the branch family that is responsible for the survival of rice-nursery tenancy, in which the tenants are dependent upon the rice-nursery of the head family.

    In this paper, the writer studied a striking contrast between the billages of Iki Island, by coinparing “Streudorf” (Fure) in the interior with “Haufendors” (Ura) on the coast. This contrast is causedd by the difference of their functions; that is, the former is an agricultural settlement, while the latter is the fishing and market village. As to the reason why the houses have been concentrated along he coast, the writer concludes as follows:
    1. Location of the houses at the sea-shore is based on the nature of the fishing industry.
    2. This island, has no coastal plain.
    3. There are, only a few wells in each village that may be the core of the groupings.
    4. Each fishing village, fornis a favorable natural harbor and has a natural bulwark in front of it.
    5. In feudal days fishing rights were monopolized by eight villagers.

    The writer investigated the distribution. of the salinity in the bay of Habu, Oshima. Water simples were taken simultaneous ly from. 30-50 points in the hay, on adjoining the sea and along the sea shore. This survey was performed for 7 days in. Aug. and one day in Dec. in 1948.
    The writer observed that the slinity was high on the east side of the bay-mouth and low on the west. This was cawed. by the existence of springs of fresh water (no river is found along the coast), and the inflow of ocean water, with very high. salinity, and also by the left-hand circular current inside the bay which probably due to the deflecting force of the earth's rotation.

    The author devised a drawing method to indicate the pop nation of settlements by using conical symbols. As shown in the ill stration in this paper, one can determine the distribution. of settlements, as well as theirr arr eal size, and number and density of population. The areal-size of each settlement is represented by the basal diameters of conical synnbols, its population by the volume, and its density of population by the height of conical symbols which is indicated by the concentric circle or the, shadows of symbols. Thus we can recognize the map on this method as the synsetical map. The strong points, of this conical method are that the synmbol is a clear representation of the actual conditions of settlement and gives one an actual feeling for them.
