A survey made in the centres of "Protection Maternelle et Infantile" in Paris has given successive anthropometric measurements, from the birth to 66 months, of 400 Chinese children who live in France. Body measurements of Chinese children born in Paris are slightly above those of Chinese children born in China. This is likely due to the improvements of living conditions, feeding and exogamy. There is a slight difference between the body measurements from girls and from boys. This sexual difference is statistically significant by t-test from one month-age.

Persistent problems involving the clavicle include the reason for its reduction in many mammals, its function in hominids, the last ossification, and so on. In this paper these problems are considered from the point of views of comparative and functional morphology. The clavicle is an element of the dermal shoulder girdle that is in the process of reduction through tetrapod evolution. The reason why the clavicle disappeared or was reduced in cursorial mammals is probably that it disturbed the reciprocal movement of the scapula. The human clavicle works also as a supporter of the forelimb. The characteristic double-curved form of the clavicle may be related to its function. The sternal epiphysis of the clavicle fuses last among the long bones of the human skeleton, in spite of the first ossification of the clavicular body. The delay of determination of the clavicular length should be convenient to slight adjustment for retaining dynamic stability in human bipedal walking.

Incidences of 22 nonmetric cranial traits were compared through uni-and multi-variate procedures between seven cranial series from the central islands of Japan covering the past 4, 000 years of Japanese population history. The results indicated that there is a clear difference in the incidence of nonmetric traits between the native Jomon and the immigrant Yayoi, but thereafter, the incidence has remained stable over the 2, 000 years from the Yayoi period to the present time. Taken these together, it is inferred that the northern Kyushu Yayoi of continental lineage must be one of the lineal forerunners of the modern Japanese of the central islands of Japan.

Dog bones excavated from 11 Jomon and 2 Yayoi sites in Kagoshima Prefecture were investigated morphologically and osteometrically. The late and final Jomon sites (3, 500-2, 500 BP) were shell mounds at Izumi, Euchi, Ichiki, Muginoura, Kusano, Ushuku, Omonawa I, and Inutabu, cave sites at Katano and Kurokawa, and a site at Uwaigusuku. The early Yayoi sites (2, 300-2, 000 BP) were the Takahashi shell mound and a cave site at Atake. The total excavated pieces of bone numbered 373;102 from the Inutabu shell mound, 83 from the Kusano shell mound, 82 from the Euchi shell mound, and the rest from the other sites. Most pieces were from adult dogs, but some from Euchi, Ichiki, and Kusano shell mounds were from young dogs.The morphological characters of the bones, as large as those of today's Shiba dog, were nearly similar at each site. The estimated withers height from the intact bone lengths was 35-43cm, showing that the dogs belonged to HASEBE's small-sized dog group.It is suggested that in the late Jomon period, small dogs were already being kept by people throughout the entire area of Kagoshima, although a buried sample has not yet been found.

Morphological patterns of similarity and difference derived from an assessment of metric and non-metric dental characters in a series of Jomonese and their lineage in Japan, Southeast Asians, Micronesians, and Polynesians were presented. Despite the marked difference of phenotypic features, the dentitions of Negritos, Dajaks, and Filipinos show close resemblance to each other. The original dental traits of Southeast Asians may have occurred by the result of convergent microevolution under the similar environmental condition such as tropical rain-forest. Diachronic comparison of Southeast Asian dental samples supports the local evolution hypothesis for modern Southeast Asian dental characters. Dental traits of Micronesians and Polynesians are more like those of Southeast Asians than those of Jomonese and their lineage. The present findings do not favor the Neolithic Jomonese as the most likely source for the present people in Micronesia and Polynesia. Jomonese may be linked with the Pacific populations through the common gene pool derived from somewhere in Southeast Asia.
