    Through the rhythmic change of the decade means of Dec., Jan. and Feb. air temperature in the middle and south-western part of Japan, a rising trend of winter air temperature with longer period is observed as shown in Fig. 1, in which it will be seen that the eight points of the decadal means of air temperatures change inversely with these of the pressure difference, Irkutsk (52°16'N, 104°19'E) - Nemuro 43°20'N, 145°35'E), which was taken as an index of the Far East monsoons strength, and, notwithstanding the inverse parallelism of the decade means, the secular rising trend of Japanese winter temperature is running parallel with that of the Far East monsoon strength.
    The same relation can be seen in the case of rainfalls. In Fig. 2, 10-year running mean curve of January precipitations on the Japan Sea side indicates the same increasing trend with that of the Pacific side, though the 10-year running mean in itself change in parallel with opposite signs.
    These facts lead us to the conclusion that the secular trend of the winter climate in Japan through centuries must be due to some longer period change in the general circulation other than the change in the Far East monsoons.
    A comparison of the two mean December, January and February pressure charts averaged for the periods 1899/1900-1928/29 (n=30) and of 1929/30-1959/60 (n=27) is shown in Fig. 3. The pressure of the Siberian High increased from the first half period to the second period, while the Pacific Low decreased, and the position of the center of the Siberian High has shifted significantly to the northwest (about 3.5° northwards and 5.0° westwards) and that of the Pacific Low appears to have moved to the northwest too.
    It is my opinion that the secular trends observed in the winter climate of Japan must be a reflection of the northwest-wards shift of the climatic zone which was seen in Fig. 3.
    The summer climate of Japan in the past 80 years can be broadly divided into three epochs, basing on the facts which is seen in Fig. 4 and Table 3 (A) and (B).
    (i) 1891-1910 (20 years) cool-rainy epoch
    (ii) 1911-1950 (40 years) hot-dry epoch
    (iii) 1951-1970 (20 years) cool-rainy epoch
    By using all the northern hemisphere monthly mean chart on hand, the secular change of July pressure in the central part of the North Pacific High is investigated in Fig. 5, in which the area enclosed by 1026 mb isobar averaged for (ii) period is remarkably large compared with those before and after the period, and the center of the North Pacific High is situated moving to the northwest in comparison with those before and after the period. The patterns of the July pressure distribution in the neighborhood of the Japan Island are also investigated respectively for (i), (ii) and (iii) period. In Fig. 6, it will be seen that the North Pacific High bulges out strongly towards the south-western part of Japan in the period of (ii).
    The geographical distributions of correlation coefficient of July air temperature with July monsoon strength, taking the pressure difference between Choshi (35°43'N, 140°51'E) and Asahikawa (43°46'N, 142°22'E) as an index of the monsoon intensity in the neighborhood of Japan, are shown for each period in Table 1, in which the region of maximum correlation coefficient goes northwards, or southwards, corresponding to the north-south oscillation of the center of the North Pacific High.
    The July pressure difference between Bo-so Peninsula in Japan and the northeastern part of Korea or the Maritime Province in Siberia is taken as an index of the intensity of bulging of the North Pacific High and the correlation coefficient of the index with amount of July precipitation are computed at various places or district in the Far East.

    Sendai is situated in Tohoku district of northern Japan and with its population more than 500 thousands, Sendai has the position of the local capital of Tohoku district. As its domain has been expanding, the central management functions have been agglomerating in it. In the present paper the author analyses the functions of Sendai, so as to make clear its so-called great-sphere centrality. He points out that its regional centrality has been merely maintained by the local establishments, for instance electric-, construction-, and whole-sale industry as well as some other retail trades.
    Among many cities of Tohoku district Sendai is characterized by its dominant wholesale amount, and as shown by its high dependence of whole-sale on the branch business as well as the large share of local whole-sale in the sales amount as a whole, the branch establishments are playing a great role in Sendai. Regarding financial function Sendai has a high position, having more amounts of loan than of deposit. This is, however, not because of much amounts of demand for fund from the local agencies, but because of the existence of three branches of the long-term credit bank.
    Thus, the local establishments do not play an important role for the development of regional centrality of Sendai, but its centrality is mostly maintained by agglomeration of the branch offices of national government and enterprises in national scale as well as their activities. In other words, this regional center, Sendai, has the tendency to become a city which develops under the decentralized managements controlled by Tokyo and Osaka. It may be therefore said that Sendai seems to be a typical example of serial city or a city initiated by branch offices.

    ボーキサイトはアルミニウムの主要原材料であり, 世界的にみて不足の兆がみえ, 一般にセラーズ・マーケットの状態になつているためオーストラリア, ギニアなどの資源保有国でも漸く現地において製練をする動きが高まつてきている。
    全世界のボーキサイトの可採鉱量は, 1945年は約10億tにすぎなかつたが, 1960年の調査では約36億tとなり, さらに1965年には約58億tと概算されている。このほか低品位鉱は96億tと推定されている。
    ボーキサイトの主要鉱床は主として熱帯・亜熱帯地帯に賦存しており, 第1表に示すとおり世界における賦存比率はオーストラリア (34.2%), ギニア (20.5%), ジャマイカ (10.3%) などがビッグ・スリーで, これら3国だけで世界合計量の65%を占めている。
    ここではジャマイカを除いたオーストラリアとギニアに焦点を合わせ, その開発プロジェクトに触れてみたいとおもう。

    熱, 光のエネルギーを, 直接電気エネルギーに変換できるセシウムの需要は, 今後の調査研究の成果に侯つ処が甚だ大きい。其結果によつては20年以内に, 或いは現在の世界消費の6倍, 34tに達するかも知れないと謂われる。現在の消費は微々たるもので, 従つてその原鉱石たるポラック石だけを採掘する鉱山は無く, 副産物として回収されて居るに過ぎないが, 1968年の世界生産量20t/年が100t/年を越す様になつて来たのは。研究開発の結果に著しく発展が見られる事を物語るものであろう。セシウム鉱源の探査に甚だ力を入れて居るのはソ聯邦で, 自由世界では考え難い低品位鉱をも処理の対象にして居る様である。ポラックス石はペグマタイト中にのみ産し, 大規模の鉱床は先寒武系内に限られ, カナダBernic Lakeの鉱床は世界最大のものと云える。その随伴鉱物には特徴があり, リシア鉱物特に鱗雲母, 帯青色クリーブランド石を必ず伴う。従つて此等の随伴鉱物を産するもので, 石英があれば, ポラックス石としての再検が必要であり, 更に発見の可能性がある。先ず既存ペグマタイトの随伴鉱物の検討から始める事が, 新鉱床捕捉の端緒となるであろう。
