    The cooking properties of guinea hen's and hen's eggs are examined by measuring total weight, shell weight, shell thickness, specific gravity, weights of egg yolk and white, weights of thick and thin white, pH of egg yolk and white, yolk index, shape index, surface tension, specific gravity of white foam, viscosity and rheological properties of “tamago-tofu” by curdmeter. The experimental results are presented in the figures and tables in detail and summarized as follows.
    The shell of guinea hen's egg is extremely thick compared with the hen's. The ratio of egg yolk to egg white is also large in guinea hen. The viscosity of egg yolk of guinea hen is higher at any shear rate, while that of the egg white is higher only at high shear rate. There are scarcely found any differences between guinea hen's and hen's eggs which influence for the cooking. Therefore, we suggest that guinea hen's egg can be used in the same manner as hen's egg.

    The breaking properties of agar gels were studied by determining stress-strain relationships under compression at a constant rate. The “Dynagraph” was used as this measuring apparatus. Specimens of agar gels were compressed at various cross-head speeds. It was observed that the failure of the gels was brittle, and that stress-strain curves showed the sigmoid shape. Also it was found that the breaking point coincided with the yield point. Both the rupture stress and the rupture energy increased with either increasing the agar concentration or rising the cross-head speed. However effects of these factors on the rupture strain were not clearly observed.
    Similar experiments were performed on the agar-sugar gels, banana and fish sausage for the purpose of comparing with the agar gels. Their stress-strain curves were obtained. In the case of agar-sugar gels, the curves showed sharp sigmoid shape; while in banana and fish sausage, these shapes differed from sigmoid.

    We performed to throw light on the proper amount of shrinking, depending on the fabrics used. In this paper, we investigated the relation between the shrinking of fabric and the space between threads. In addition, we considered the rate of shrinking to be calculated from the theoretical estimation by thickness of fabric and density of yarn. We used 10 types of the plain woven cotton fabrics.
    The main results were as follows;
    1. There is very close interrelation between the rate of shrinking and the rate of space between threads.
    2. The rate of shrinking may be expressed by following equations;
    at the warp direction : S1=18.5-1.06 TD1
    at the weft direction : S2 = 18.5 -1.24 TD2
    at the 45° bias direction : S3 =51.9-2.89 TD1
    T; thickness, D1; yarn density of the warp direction, D2; yarn density of the weft direction

    With the previously mentioned purpose we put out a questionnaire to find out how the inhabitants of these islands assessed their living conditions.
    The result of their evaluation is as follows :
    1) Plus evaluation is of sanitary conditions. Minus evaluations are of facilities, comfort, culture etc.
    2) About the change of living conditions during the last five years, they give high evaluation to the expansion and improvement of facilities. They think disagreeably about the promotion of motorization.
    3) The facilities in the country districts are available in every town and village and inhabitants evaluate this highly, but there are regional differences about it in various areas. They criticize the fact that there are no facilities in the remote areas. The number of facilities, the distance from them, and the transportation method to get to them are the problems for inhabitants at present.
    4) Taking these into consideration, more than half of the inhabitants think their present living conditions “Just so so” or “rather good.” They seem to wish to have a convenient life without damaging their good natural environment.

    In order to know what the inhabitants think about their habitat we investigated their affection to their dwelling place and their future vision about it.
    The result is as follows :
    1) The inhabitants' affection to their islands is very strong.
    2) Important factors which affect the growth of their attachment are the distinctions of sex and age, the period of dwelling, whether they have their own house or not, and their occupation.
    3) About one-third of the inhabitants in the six islands desire to maintain the present environment in future.
    4) But about one-fourth or one-third of the inhabitants of Ehime prefecture zone show no interest in the future of their district.
