This paper clarifies the growth of the furniture industry during the postwar high-growth period in Fuchu, where is famous as a production center for high-class marriage furniture. With the increase in income during the postwar high-growth period, there was a growth in the bridal market as well, thereby it lead to an expansion of the high-class marriage furniture market. Against this background, it was evident that Fuchu had been also rapidly expanding as one of the most famous production centers for high-class marriage furniture in Japan. We consider the following two aspects as being of great significance in the popularizing Fuchu as a production center for high-class marriage furniture. First, the production system for Fuchu's original high-class marriage furniture and that for mass products were coexisted and led by backbone manufacturers. This aspect is different from that indicated previous studies which emphasize mechanization and mass production. Further, the creation of a new advanced system (specialized Planning Management Division, enhanced manufacturing facilities, etc.) and enhancing existing provincial cooperation among associated local enterprises made it possible for the production system to be constructed in Fuchu. Second, in order to construct a new distribution system for increasing sales, a burgeoning production center was necessary, since there were no local wholesalers in Fuchu. Thus, a new distribution system was constructed as a supplementary to establish wholesalers who played a central function in distribution, as indicated by previous studies; this system was characterized mainly by development of the trade fair business. Initially, certain backbone manufacturers enabled Fuchu to acquire the reputation of being a production centre of high-class marriage furniture from the end of the 1950's to the beginning of the 1960's. This was done by conducting nationwide exhibitions in reputed furniture stores and winning prizes for excellence on the basis of market evaluation. Further, local trade fairs in Fuchu led by the unions in the middle of the 60's also played a vital role in the establishment of Fuchu's reputation. At these trade fairs, a long-term dealing relationship was established between wholesalers and retailers through the disclosure of production information. In addition, almost simultaneously, manufacturer's sales offices were established in Fuchu as distribution points and sales bases in order to attempt strengthening ties with business partners and customers.

1963年6月に瀬戸内海西半部の14点で得られた資料から, 39種の動物プランクトンが同定された. このうち2種のかいあし類 (Sapphirina nigromaculalaおよびClytemnestm rostrata) は, 瀬戸内海では今回初めて記録されたものである.
次に, 動物プランクトン群集を代表するものとして, 伊予灘ではOithom similis, これに次いでParacalamus parvus (または, Oithona similisとOncaea media), 広島湾および安芸灘ではParacalanus parvus, これに次いでOithom similis, 燧灘ではPenilia schmackeri, これに次いでParacalanus parvusが優勢であった. 備後灘では, Penilia schmackeri, Oithona similis, Paracalanus parvusおよびAcartia clausiが優勢に出現するが, その優占度は調査点によって変化が大きい. このような群集分布と, 同時に観測された海況との問には, 密接な相互関係が認められる.

On the problems of industrial regions much has been researched by many geographers. Traditional industry was studied much earlier than the modern industry because of its historical and regional peculiarities, but the studies are rather isolated and little systematical. The author tried to make clear the peculiar production and circulation system and the historical development of traditional industry as the inner elements, and the relations with local agricultural conditions and the influences of the modern industry as the outer elements. Kasuri is the dyed pure cotton fabrics originated in the Edo era and continued as a traditional production in rural regions. (Hiroshima Pref.), Iyo (Ehime Pref.) and Kurume (Fukuoka Pref.) are the regions where most of the Kasuri are produced in Japan.
The purpose of this report is to compare with those three regions especially from the viewpoint of production, circulation system, the distribution of factories, the influence of rural economics in its procession and the relation with modern cotton industries.
At Kurume, far from the center of the modern fabric industrial region of Japan, where Kasuri fabric had its origin and from where its technique was spread to other regions, modern cotton industry was not established. The amount of Kasuri production gradually decreased there. Now Kasuri region at Kurume changed into the producer of special high grade Kasuri fabrics by manufacturing.
At Iyo and , they have been much influenced by the modern cotton industrial regions along the Inland Sea area, of which the center is Osaka.
In the Iyo region the modernization was delayed because the establishments were old-fashioned and the markets were not secure. But in the region, it was eagerly desired to adopt modern establishment and technique from adjoining modern industrial regions and the region (as a modern fabric industrial) grew larger than two other regions.
In short, we may say, the location of traditional cotton industry and its change are largely dependent on modern cotton industry.

1964年9月27日から10月2日にかけて, 伊予灘から播磨灘にいたる8海域の18調査点で採集された資料から, 42種の動物プランクトンが同定された. そのうち, かいあし類のCtenocalanus vanusは瀬戸内海では未記録の種類であった.
調査海域の動物プランクトン群集は, 組成の大部分をかいあし類によって占められている. その代表種は, 海況の地域的変化と密接に関連した分布を示し, 伊予灘・広島湾ではOncaea media, 安芸灘・燧灘・備後灘ではMicrosetella norvegicaとParacalanus parvus, 水島灘・備讃瀬戸・播磨灘では主としてOithona nanaが優勢であった.
なお, 外洋性のかいあし類と毛顎類の出現状況から, 広島湾と播磨灘が外洋水の影響を強く受ける海域であることが推定された.

1963年9月に瀬戸内海東半部の12点で採集した資料から, 53種の動物プランクトンを同定した. そのうちの12種のかいあし類は瀬戸内海における未記録種であった.
次に, この時期の動物プランクトン群集は全調査海域共Micyosetella norvegica (かいあし類) によって代表されており, 特に海域別の生物学的特性や海況との相互関係を追求することは困難であった. ただ, 外洋種の出現状況から外洋水の流入状況を或程度推定することが出来た.

1966年1月28日から2月3日にかけて, 伊予灘から播磨灘にいたる7海域の18調査点で, 22種の動物プランクトンが同定された.
伊予灘から備後灘にかけての動物プランクトン群集の代表種は, 海況が次第に内湾化するにつれて, Oncaea mediaからParacalanus parvus, さらにOikopleura dioicaへと変化する. しかし, 備讃瀬戸と播磨灘では群集の組成が調査点ごとに変動して, 海況との間に明白な相互関係を認めることが出来なかった.
