    The Tari district, Tottori Prefecture, is situated about 43 km. SSE of Matsue city, Shimane Prefecture. The mines in this district are situated about 800 m. above the sea-level, and are about 400 m. above than the Tari environs. Serpentinites or serpentinized peridotites occur near the ridge among the boundary line of Shimane, Tottori, Okayama and Hiroshima Prefectures, and occupy a moderately large area. The characteristic geology in the Tari district is that these ulta-basic rocks intrude in Palaeozoic sediments and some serpentinites associate with chromites. In this paper, the writer summarized the results of studies on the chromites and their country rocks in this district, including the description of two kinds of leuchtenbergite found by the author. The author wishes to express his gratitude to President S. Yamane and Assistant Professor S. Nishiyama of Shimane University for their encouragemements. The expences of this study was partly defrayed by the Sientific Reserches provided from the Ministry Education of Japan, to which the writer wishes to express his thanks

    Abundant fossils of Vicarya and other molluscs were found by the students of a jounior high school at Okuda in the south of Masuda City in December of 1977 (Textfig. 1). Recently the details were reported by TANAKA (1981). After this discovery, many specimens have been collected on the chance of the geological training for students of Shimane University and some excursions at the site. Here to fore, twenty species of molluscs have been identified by the author's examination of these specimens and TANAKA'S collections. In this paper, they will be described. The author wishes to express his hearty thanks to Mr. Ikutaro TANAKA of Kuraki Junior High School, Muika-ichi-cho, Shimane Prefecture, for providing fossil specimens and Dr. Junji ITOIGAWA of Nagoya University, Professor Masahiro OKUBO and Dr. Takao TOKUOKA of Shimane University for their helpful advice

    Many fossils from various localities in Shimane Prefecture have been deposited in the Department of Geology, Shimane University, but most of them yet remains to be examined. Therefore, the serial work was planned by the present author to identify and illustrate the specimens for further studies. As the Part 1 of the work, the fossils from Nange, Matsue City, are examined. From Nange, about 1O species of molluscs were listed by OTUKA (1938) and NOMURA and HATAI (1939) individually, but they were neither described nor illustrated. Before the examination, I wish to thank Dr. Junji ITOIGAWA Of Nagoya University for his valuable aid in identifying the specimens. A part of this study was supported by the scientific research fund from the Ministry of Education

    This paper is intended to present a model for describing the dynamics of actual wood volume damaged by the pine wilt disease. Applying the KERMACK-MCKENDRICK epidemic curve (1927), the author derived the simulation model which can be written as follows ; f(t)=M sech2{k(t-τ)} where M, maximum of wood volume damaged by the pine wilt disease (m3); k, intrinsic rate (year-l); τ, time of maximum damaged volume (year); t, time (year), and f(t), damaged volume at time t (m3). The simulation model was fitted to observed data of wood volume damaged by the pine wilt disease from 1973 to 1990 in Shimane Prefecture and Hikawa-cho respectively and was tested its applicability

The CADi consists of items involving immediate recognition memory for three words, semantic memory, categorization of six objects, subtraction, backward repetition of digits, cube rotation, pyramid rotation, trail making A, trail making B, and delayed recognition memory for three words. The present study examined the reliability and validity of the CADi. Methods: CADi evaluations were conducted for patients with dementia, healthy subjects selected from a brain checkup system, and community-dwelling elderly people participating in health checkups. Results: CADi scores were lower for dementia patients than for healthy elderly individuals and correlated significantly with Mini-Mental State Examination scores. Cronbach’s alpha values for the CADi were acceptable (over 0.7), and test–retest reliability was confirmed via a significant correlation between scores separated by a one-year interval. Conclusion: These results suggest that the CADi is a useful tool for mass screening of dementia in Japanese populations. Keywords: dementia, mass screening, early detection, iPa

    The purpose of this study is to show how retelling activities can be used to enhance Japanese high school students’ English proficiency. As a graduate student. the author participated in a 2-year teaching practicum at a public high school in Shimane Prefecture. The first-year research showed that retelling activities can provide students with valuable opportunities to practice speaking in their own words. Therefore, in the following year, experimental instruction was designed and given to two classes, and its effects were evaluated relative to a control group in terms of the amount of students’ utterances in retelling tasks. The results show that a) retelling activities increased the number of words students speak for 1 min (but n. s.), and b) interactive instruction can be used to teach implicit retelling skills

    Subtitle : Aluminous Tremolite from the Hirose Mine, Shimane Pref. and Ferrian Tremolite from the Takase Mine, Okayama Pref.  Abstract: Geology of these area was reported before by the author, so it will not be described on again in this paper. The sample No. 1 was found at 34 m level of Hirose mine, and the sample No 2 was discovered at new No. 3 level of Takase mine. Both of the country rock of these samples are pyroxenite composed of enstatite an_d diopside, and a little part of them has been affected by residual magmatic autometamorphism, then tremolite was produced. It can be considered that the addition of Si0_2 and H_20 to these country rocks (pyroxenite) reacted chemically as the following equation. 3MgSi0_3 (enstatite) +2CaMgSi_20_6 (diopside) +Si0_2 + H_20→ (OH)_2Ca_2Mg_5Si_80_ (tremolite) In this reaction, the metamorphism does not advance so as to produce hornblende. The reason why fluorine does not exist in tremolite as shown in the chemical analysis table, is that pyroxenite was not metamorphosed by granitic rock. On the other hand, harzburgite has been metamorphosed by dioritic rock, and then asbestiform tremolite in small quantities has been crystallized from the harzburgite. The occurrences are sometimes observed in the region The general reaction equation may be expressed as follows. MgSi0_3 +Mg_2Si0_3 (olivine) +Si0_2 +CaO (from diorite) +H_20 →(OH)_2Ca_2Mg_5Si_80_<22
