PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. II, October, 1948 
This information was taken from Report No. 
12 [Index to Japanese Research and Develop¬ 
ment during Period July-Dee ember, 1946, pub¬ 
lished April, 1948] of General Headquarters, 
Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, 
Economic and Scientific Section. This Index 
"lists the detailed subjects of research projects 
pursued in Japan during the last half of 1946 
in each field of science and technology, together 
with the names of the laboratories which did 
the work..The selected list presented here 
by Pacific Science is considerably abridged, and 
shows only the major institutions in Japan— 
as best as can be judged from the SCAP Index 
—at which scientific research may be carried on. 
Many other institutions — like the prefectural 
experimental stations and colleges — are not 
listed here; and it is possible, according to the 
preface of the SCAP report, that some of the 
finest small laboratories in Japan have been 
omitted, unintentionally, because information 
about them was either unobtainable or because 
awareness of their quality was lost when their 
appraising was reduced to the statistics of the 
report. 
Requests for information about institutions 
or facilities in Japan, and concerning their ac¬ 
cessibility to visiting scientists, should be sent 
to General Headquarters, Supreme Commander 
for the Allied Powers, Economic and Scientific 
Section: attention Scientific and Technical 
Division, APO 500, c/o Postmaster, San Fran¬ 
cisco, California.
