'Xšñvol.2 No.4 「森林総合研究所研究報告」（Bulletin of FFPRI）, Vol.2, No.4（No.389）, 271-350, December, 2003 研究資料（Research Material） Catalogue of bird skin collection in Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI) KAWAJI Noritomo 1)*, TOJO Hitoshi 1), MATSUOKA Shigeru 2), TAKANO Hajime 3) and KITAHARA Eiji 1) Abstract We provide a list of 4,790 bird skins that have been kept in the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI). They were collected mainly from 1920s to 1930s by the Wildlife Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture at that time. The collection includes many specimens of birds that had collided with lighthouses during migration and specimens collected from the Kurile Islands. Key words : 4,790 bird skins, Collided birds with the lighthouse, Kurile Islands Introduction specimens and are in greatest demand for scientific surveys. Many wildlife specimens collected by the Ministry of Recently, T. Mishima donated his collection of many wildlife Agriculture have been kept in the Forestry and Forest Products specimens to FFPRI and a list of 5,080 bird skins have already Research Institute (FFPRI). Although collection dates of them been published (Kawaji et al., 2002). The two lists cover nearly range from 1880s to 1990s, more than 80% were collected 10,000 bird skins kept in FFPRI. between 1920s and 1930s by staffs of the Wildlife Research The list consists of order, family, species, English name, Laboratory at that time. Following the loss of most specimens Japanese name, specimen number, sex, age, collection date, by the Great Earthquake of 1923, they made much effort for locality and collector’s name as almost same as Kawaji et al. collecting new ones in cooperation with concerning people and (2002). Because the specimens were described in accordance institutions (Matsuyama, 1989, 1997). They asked, for example, with the classification system in place when the collections had many lighthouse keepers in Japanese territory at that time to been conducted, some of the scientific names have changed over send birds that had collided with the lighthouse during the years. In this list, we revised the scientific names of the migration. Those bodies provided about 1,000 specimens as birds in Japan referring to the Ornithological Society of Japan well as new information about bird migration in Japan (e.g. (2000). For those species that were not included in the Ishizawa, 1960, 1961). They also asked governmental institutes Ornithological Society of Japan (2000), the scientific names, of marine products in the Kurile Islands to observe and collect English and Japanese names were revised referring to birds. The specimens from the Kurile amounted more than 900 Yamashina (1986) and del Hoyo et al. (1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, and some of them have been used in a pioneering paper about 1999, 2001, 2002). Although some of the region names have avifauna of the Kurile Islands (Yamashina, 1929). The changed, we did not change the locality names on the labels and collection, fortunately, was saved from the air raids on Tokyo in the list but translated the names into English. The species are the Second World War and has been used in various arranged based upon the Ornithological Society of Japan (2000), ornithological papers until today (e.g. Uchida, 1921: Mishima, Peters’ Check-lists of birds of the world (I-XV, 1934-1986), and 1962: Kawaji and Higuchi, 1989: Noma and Yumoto, 1997: Vaurie (1959, 1965). All the specimens are listed in groups of Artukhin et al., 2001). species.

    ACG08-P04 Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2016 Estimation of total river flux from Japanese basins to Pacific ocean and its numerical prediction using cell distributed runoff model *Josko Troselj1, Toshiharu Sasaki1, Yosuke Yamashiki2, Takahiro Sayama3, Kaoru Takara3 1.Kyoto University, Graduate School of Engineering, Department of Civil and Earth Resources Engineering, 2.Kyoto University, Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, 3.Kyoto University, Disaster Prevention Research Institute 1. Introduction The demand for having simulated freshwater outflow data on the river mouths is especially conspicuous in coastal modeling where fluvial influence often makes big difference in results and in climatological modeling where fluvial influence is needed to join the oceanographic, meteorology and hydrology cycle into bigger comprehensive closed cycle to be used for more accurate climatological models. Coastal and climatological models do not usually use freshwater outflow data from river's estuaries because they either neglect the data as insignificant or have difficulties to implement these data into their models. 2. Objective and motivation The main objective of the study is to create complete set of river outflow data from Japanese basins to western Pacific ocean, in order that the data can be used in bigger and more complex coastal and climatological models, so that these models can develop more precise calculations and expand its purposes to wider range. Secondary objective of the study is to predict sediment runoff at the catchment scale near river mouth, in order that it can be used in river basin management for sediment related disaster risk reduction. River discharge data likely represent the most accurate quantitative information about the global terrestrial water cycle, but this information has not been uniformly adopted in Earth Systems studies, such as GCMs or terrestrial productivity models (Fekete et al., 2002).

  • Northern Jomon Culture Seen from the World 1/8
    Northern Jomon culture seen from the world 1/8 Northern Jomon culture seen from the world Kazunori Takada (Director, Goshono Jomon Park ) J omon culture is a prehistoric culture that lasted for more than 10,000 years on the Japanese archipelago. The range of the culture is thought to have extended throughout almost all of the archipelago, from northern Hokkaido to southern Kagoshima, and then further, into Okinawa. However, the culture was not necessarily uniform, and distinctive regional characteristics have encouraged moves to understand Jomon as a regional cultural sphere. Among these regions, a unique cultural area was formed by the southern part of Hokkaido and the northern part of Tokhoku, the north-eastern part of Japan, which are separated by the Tsugaru Strait. Currently, efforts are underway to secure UNESCO World Heritage Site designation for the Jomon culture of this region, as “Jomon Archaeological Sites in Hokkaido and Northern Tohoku.” The Goshono Jomon Park continues to hold lectures to encourage learning about Jomon culture in the north, and many researchers into archaeology, history, and cultural anthropology have given interesting lectures. This article contains one of those lectures, on how Jomon is seen from outside the Japanese archipelago. I would like to remove the frame of the Japanese archipelago, and to think with everyone, from a broader perspective, about the strong regional ties and longevity of the culture of “Jomon Archaeological Sites in Hokkaido and Northern Tohoku.” Northern Jomon culture seen from the world 2/8 The beginning of pottery and changes in the natural environment F ifteen thousand years ago, rapid warming reduced the number of large animals, and pottery began to appear for the first time, from Primorsky Krai in East Asia (Russian Far East) to various part of China and the Japanese archipelago.

  • 1 the 2010 Chilean and the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami Waves
    THE 2010 CHILEAN AND THE 2011 TOHOKU TSUNAMI WAVES IMPACT TO RIVERS IN THE TOHOKU REGION, JAPAN Hitoshi Tanaka1 and Nguyen Xuan Tinh2 As a result when tsunami invades into river, it may not only a threat of damages to the banks but also cause the environmental problem such as inundation. Therefore, study of tsunami impacts to rivers becomes more important. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the tsunami wave propagation at different river morphologies based on real time measurements during the 2010 Chilean Tsunami and 2011 Tohoku Tsunami events. The aim is to learn empirically from the last extreme events tsunamis in order to suggest a better solution in terms of river and coastal management in the future. The analyzed results have been shown that the tsunami wave can be affected up to several tens kilometer upstream of a large river and the measured tsunami travel time inside the river is almost similar to the tsunami travel time calculated by using the long wave theory. Keywords: 2010 Chilean Tsunami; 2011 Tohoku Tsunami; river mouth; river upstream; tsunami wave impact INTRODUCTION There were two serious Chile and Great Tohoku Earthquakes, rating magnitude of 8.8 and 9.0, took place on February 27, 2010 and March 11, 2011 respectively caused great tsunami waves and devastating coastal areas of Chile and Japan. This study will mainly focus on the effects of these two tsunami events to the total 25 rivers in Tohoku Region of Japan. In order to achieve the objectives, an attempt is made to collect as many required data sets as possible for all studied rivers.
