The annual is published at the end of an academic year, April to March. One volume of the bulletin, corresponding to an academic year, is divided into four parts. Each of the first three parts includes several papers, and the fourth part com- prises the abstracts of papers published by staff members of the Institute in the former calendar year. This particular part, Part 4 of Volume 16, includes also an outline of the history and activities of the Institute. Discussions and the request for a copy of a paper should be addressed to the authors at Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

These facilities exist at different lo- cations such as in the river flow or near the river bank. Their sizes vary from a tall and strong embankment which is easily found to a small water barricade such as Gyuwaku hidden in a ordinary field. All of them are important flood control facilities which protect people who live near the river during flood disasters. This small booklet was published to announce our ancestors' precious idea and efforts for Fuji river flood control. Among various flood control facilities along Fuji river, three locations of “Shingen Embankment”, “Manriki Forest”, and “Karigane Embankment” are introduced in this booklet to help you under- stand Fuji river. “Shingen Embankment” is located in the west side of the Kofu basin. It is told that Shingen Takeda, a famous war lord in war- ring state, constructed it, and it is called by that name honoring his achievement. “Manriki Forest” is located in the east of the Kofu basin to pre- vent a flood of Fuefuki river. This is a flood prevention forest where covered by dense and large pine trees. It is told that the origin of the name, “Manriki”, has the wish of making a strong bank with all people's united power.

Department of /UiflH SfaAieS The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Au^t 30, 1110 DE-6 (2/88) ii Abstract This thesis is a study of the narrative strategies in the fiction of Fukazawa Shichiro (1914-87) and the ways in which these strategies work to solicit involvement in a compelling reading experience. The role of the narrator in each of the stories I discuss proves to be critical in the establishment of this relationship. And while I examine the thematic implications further enhanced by this solicitation, I have chosen to focus on how each story through its narrator produces those thematic messages. My emphasis on each work's technical aspect is also a deliberate, compensatory move, a reaction against the tendency of Japanese critics who slight the process of reading as a determining factor in their evaluation of Fukazawa's works.

  • A Checklist of the Parasites of Ayu (Plecoglossus Altivelis Altivelis) (Salmoniformes: Plecoglossidae) in Japan (1912-2007)
    J. Grad. Sch. Biosp. Sci. Hiroshima Univ. (2007), 46：59～89 REVIEW A Checklist of the Parasites of Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis) (Salmoniformes: Plecoglossidae) in Japan (1912-2007) 1） 1） 2） Kazuya Nagasawa , Tetsuya Umino and Mark J. Grygier 1）Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan 2）Lake Biwa Museum, 1091 Oroshimo, Kusatsu, Shiga 525-001, Japan Abstract The ayu or sweetfish Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis is distributed in many rivers and some lakes in Japan and also occurs in rivers of the Korean Peninsula and along the east coast of China and northern Vietnam. In Japan, this species is one of the most important freshwater fishes for commercial fisheries, aquaculture, and recreational fishing. In the present paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of ayu in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 96 years between 1912 and 2007, and the parasites, including 29 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (no named species), Microspora (1), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (13), Monogenea (3), Cestoda (1), Nematoda (1), Acantho- cephala (3), Copepoda (4), and Branchiura (2). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, any original combination, synonym(s), or other previous identification used for the parasite occurring in ayu; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japanese waters; and the published source of each locality record. There has been no record of parasites from a subspecies of ayu, the ryukyu-ayu Plecoglossus altivelis ryukyuensis.
