    The rice variety in one region reflects various conditions of its envirouient.
    The writer studied on Kujukuri Plain as a rice farming region in ternms of the varieties of rice.
    As the result, the following facts have been proved:
    (1) The main rice varieties in this plain are Norin No. 1, Wasegin, Norin No. 29 and Aichiasahi. As for the time of harvest, two months' range is seen between Norin No. 1 and Aichiasahi.
    (2) The distribution of rice varieties are brought out much more by the social than by the physical conditions. Consequently the rice farming regions of this plain are divided into 5 sections from north to south.
    (3) In order to increase the value of the rice production, the improvement of the conditions of arable land is to be much more emphasized than the reform of rice varieties is.
    (4) As far as rice farming of Kujukuri is concerned, the improvement of land conditions did not necessarily result in the change of the rice variety and the two-crop farm at once.

    Some hollow topographies in Kwanto Plain are found out in three locations, namely, on alluvial sand dune, on the Musashino Terrace and on the Tama Terrace. The writer researched the hollow and the related valley topography in the vicinity of Mt. Kanozan (Tama terrace in Boso Peninsula).
    Mt. Kanozan is composed of unconsolidated sand, and the southern edge of this mountain shows a clear escarpment, while the back slope declines gently to the north. And its shape presents cuesta-like topography.
    The writer summarized the result of the survey as follows.
    1. On the flat surface near the summit, there are several circular or elliptical shallow hollows with about 20_??_200m in diameter, 1_??_2m in depth.
    2. The most of the valleys on the back slope of this mountain have flat valley bottoms with certain width at their upper parts where no stream is seen.
    3. The change of gradient froze the flat valley bottom to the valley side slope is abrupt, and it seems that the seeae of ground water at the foot of the slope plays a role in widening the valley bottom.
    4. The distribution of springs suggests that the ground water is sustained in consolidated sand or thin clay lenses caused by the differences of the original sedimentary conditions.
    5. The valley head forms of this region are classified into five types from the longitudinal and transversal profiles, and it is, assumed that each type of them shows a process in the series of morphological development of valley, and such flat bottom' valleys are originated from the growth of hollows.

    1. Kitakami-province includes three regions, (1) Kitakami Valley (2) Southern Kitakami Highland (3) Northern Kitakami Highland. They are divided according to their economic conditions. In this province old lineages have their mascot that appeared from the water in the figure of a boy. It is deemed that this is the origin of wealth for the lineage and when the boy disappears the lineage begins to decline. This is an old belief among Japanese. The appearance of the mascot from the water means that the old lineage of a community had managed the natural irrigation of rice-field.
    2. The regional difference of this distribution according to the difference of recent regional economic processes. In Kitakami Valley the old lineages had been declined by the advancement of artificial irrigation, higher development of modern capitalism and political pressure by the feudal lord. In these conditions the mascot had been transformed into a kind of spectre or a cherub.
    In the southern part of Kitakami Highland earlier rice-products and trade of marine-products had given a power of resistance against capitalism to the old lineages. Therefore, they could remain rich families, maintaining that folklore.
    Since in almost all part of northern Kitakami Highland, rice-growing can't be certain, the management of irrigation is not so important as to give rise to the rumours of the mascot. Moreover, these conditions continued until recently, since the economic life had been of self-support with the minimum development of capitalism, and as the result, newcomers who had been usurers, brewers or cloth-sellers became rich, and others fell into decline. Therefore here in this region the mascot is becoming to be ghostly.
    3. At present the distribution of this folklore are limited within Kitakami-province, but a few years ago it was found out in the mountainlands of middle Japan and Kyushu. In Kitakami-province the economic and social conditions had held this folklore until recently.

    Since the pottery in our country has generally been developing as a local traditional industry, and since it has been playing a very important part as a staple export since the last quarter of the preceding century, it may be said to be a typical form of the middle and small-scale industries in the country. The following are the conclusions I have arrived at by analysing the historical development and the industrial management of the pottery at Yokkaichi City, which is situated about 30 kilometers west of Nagoya, on Ise Bay.
    1. The city was not the cradle of this industry. It was an industry which, at the beginning of the last quarter of the preceding century, transmigrated here by land from Kuwana, where it had a long history as a domestic industry. At present, it depends entirely upon other parts of the land for such required materials as clay, kaolin, coal, etc. Its modern prosperity, therefore, may be attributed chiefly to the fact that the city is conveniently located not only for the importation of materials by sea, but also from the point of view of the geographical distance to Nagoya, the greatest center of foreign trade in the area.
    2. From the aspects of management, the manufacturing is suited for mass production in that it is constructed on the basis of differentiation or specialization of productive processes.
    3. From the point of view of the territorial distribution, the differentiated groups of workers aggregate in one corner of the city, called “Kyohoku Region, ” in complete seclusion from those engaged in other branches of industry.
    4. Since it was a new industry in the city that has made sudden remarkable progress since the beginning of the present century, the factory system here has certain peculiarities not to be seen in other traditional centers of the same industry. In the productive scale, it is bigger than that in such neighboring traditional centers as Seto and Tono, and smaller than that of the capitalized colossal factories in Nagoya. Here, most of the factories are middle-sized with 30 employees or so, and are surrounded by a number of small. subcontracting works. However, they form the modern commission business in that they transmit all their manufactures to wholesale agencies.
    5. The cost is reduced since the manufactures are of porcelain-earthen-ware composition with an appropriate mixture of the materials baked at a modified temperature without coating. This accounts for the export of the majority of the goods.
    6. In organic connection with other centers such as Seto, Tono, Nagoya, etc., the pottery in this city plays an important part in the particular industry of Tokai District, the pottery kingdom of our country.
