The production of deep-sea reversing thermometers, both protected 

 and non-protected, has greatly increased recently. Nearly two hundred 

 of them have been exported to the United States and many other coun- 

 tries of the world. S. Watanabe and S. Yoshino are two of the outstand- 

 ing makers. 



Submarine Geology 



In 1950 K. Hishida made an investigation on the sand drift in Ta- 

 kahania Harbor in the Japan Sea coast of Japan (KH, 1, 1950, 193). 



T. Ichiye published a series of papers on the beach erosion along 

 the southeastern coast of Osaka Bay. He propounded a theory of beach 

 erosion and suggested that the intense beach erosion is accompanied by 

 converging currents (US, 26, 1951; Reports on the Investigations of 

 Beach Erosion in the Southeastern Part of the Osaka Wan, 1951, 1952). 



Hiroshi Niino is carrying on a very extensive geological survey in 

 several areas in the adjacent seas of Japan by boats belonging to the 

 Tokyo Fisheries University. His surveys are regarded to be very im- 

 portant from the standpoint of locating the fields of coal, oil and 

 natural gas.
