    Storm surges on the coasts of the Inland Sea and Osaka Bay are investigated by use of hourly readings of tidal records for the ten years from 1953 to 1962. Remarkable storm surges on these coasts are caused by typhoons which take paths somewhat west of the station independent of the local topographical characteristics. The storm surges on the coast of Osaka Bay grow remarkably when the strong wind in a typhoon area excites the inflow of water to the bay through the Kii Straits. The storm surges on the coast of the Inland Sea grow notably when the strong wind in a typhoon area excites the flow of water into the Sea through the Bungo Straits. On the other hand, the interaction between the surges in the Inland Sea and Osaka Bay, which takes place near Akashi Straits, is not so significant.
    These features are examined by numerical tests. Theresults obtained coincide fairly well with the observations. Moreover, information about the flow of water under severe meteorological conditions, which have not yet been observed, are obtained.

    The necessity and utility on the numerical tables of the percent points in the F-distribution for the detailed significance levels has been elucidated, and a few tables have been prepared by the author (KURASHIGE,1969). To analyse several meteorological phenomena statistically, the preparation of tables is demanded for any paired degrees of freedom in the F(n1,n2).
    Using the calculation scheme already published, computation has been carried out for the pair (n1,n2);
    ( 1,2), ( 2,2),
    ( 2,3), ( 2,4),
    ( 1,5), ( 5,5),
    ( 1,6), ( 2,6), ( 3,6), ( 6,6),
    ( 1,12), ( 3,12), ( 4,12), (12,12),
    ( 1,15), ( 3,15), ( 5,15), (15,15).
    The results are given up to five significant figures.
    To calculate F-values which correspond to a larger domain of (n1,n2) than in (1), adoption of an appropriate approximation shall be designed in the method A, mentioned in the previous paper.
