     The alterative process of cultivated rice and the development of rice cultivation in Burma during the period from the Pyu Kingdom to the 19th century were investigated on the basis of data obtained from rice husks embedded in old bricks used in ancient architectural structures. A total of 82 brick samples collected at several historical sites in Central Burma were investigated. The characteristics of cultivated rice were determined by the grain types in terms of length and width of rice husks : the round type (A type), the large type (B type), and the slender type (C type) corresponded to early-maturing paddy, upland rice, and late-maturing paddy, respectively.
      The round type was predominant in bricks made during the Pyu Kingdom and the Pagan Dynasty and remained so up to the 19th century. However, the slender type began to appear with higher frequency, mainly in the area surrounding Kyaukse, in the 12th century and gradually increased during the Shan-Burmese Dynasty and the Toungoo Dynasty. These results suggest that early-maturing varieties were widely cultivated in Central Burma before late-maturing varieties, presently the most common type in Burma, began to be extensively introduced in the late 19th century.

     The analysis of the long-term fluctuation of monthly rainfall (1951-1973) revealed that the year-to-year variability of the rainfall in and around Java is large in the "east monsoon" (dry) season and relatively small in the "west monsoon" (rainy) season. The empirical orthogonal function analysis of the anomaly rainfall showed that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is dominant over the whole of Java with the large variance (29.4% of the total variance), and that a large variability in the "east monsoon" season is mostly explained by this component. The second component (6.2% of the total variance) represents the variation in the "west monsoon" season with a contrastive spatial pattern between the Java Sea side and the Indian Ocean side of the island. It was also confirmed that the first component (the QBO mode) in the anomaly rainfall is closely connected with the QBO in the surface pressure field over Australasia through the eastern south Pacific and the second component is associated with the north- (or south-) ward shift of the winter monsoon circulation system in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition, the relations between these two modes and the "southern oscillation" are briefly discussed.

     In spite of increasing interests in the current affairs of ASEAN, its formation in 1967 has been left unanalyzed since then. In fact, the formation of ASEAN not only paved the way for regional cooperation in Southeast Asia, it also established guidelines for the form and realization of that cooperation. In this sense, analyzing the formation process is of utmost importance to our understanding of what ASEAN did or did not do particularly in its early years, and of its methods and motives.
      This paper deals with ASEAN in the following three aspects : (1) building the necessary background for cooperation (armed conflict to reconciliation); (2) creating ASEAN (reconciliation to cooperation); and (3) converging member countries' standpoints on regional cooperation and expectations of ASEAN. In the analysis presented herein, the author attempts to answer such questions as (1) why did regional relations fundamentally change from conflict to cooperation within such a short period of time (a year and a quarter); (2) why did Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand agree (and why not others) to create a new organization instead of enlarging existing ASA; and (3) what were the incentives for the member countries to create ASEAN, and which were common and which were not?
      In conclusion, the five ASEAN countries indeed had different incentives to form ASEAN, but there were two common denominators : to enhance regional cooperation in any way, and to take regional security into account. The strongest force to create ASEAN was the implicit agreement among the five countries to evince mutually friendly and cooperative attitudes.
