H.J. Andrews Expt. Forest의 토양절지동물의 분포상을 조사한 결과 Coleoptera가 14과 41종으로 우점군임이 밝혀졌으며, 토양응애는 6과 7종의 분포가 확인되었으며 Typhlodromus, Gymnodamaeus, Phauloppia 및 Scleroribates 등은 계절변동 없이 발생하고 있음이 알려져 구북구계의 발생생태와 차이가 있었다. 기타 곤충군의 발생은 Collembola 4과 16종, Psocoptera 4과 4종, 식균성 총채벌레 3과 16종, Hemiptera 1과 1종, Diptera 3과 6종, Hymenoptera 1과 10종이었다. 산림토양의 절지동물은 산림생산단계의 1차 분해자로 중요한 역할을 수행하며, 부식절이 풍부한 토양조건은 무식생구에 비하여 종다양성은 낮으나 안전도가 높게 나타나 재생산의 주요인자로 해석된다.

Current estimates, based on the same star-count analysis, of the distance to the globule Bamard 361 range from 300 pc to 650 pc. All the problems associated with the estimates have been fully rectified in this study, and a modification has been made to the classical Wolf diagram to improve the accuracy in the distance determination. A reference field was carefully selected close to the globule but well outside the globule boundary, and star counts for this field were performed on the blue POSS plate in order to set up the reference magnitude sequence appropriate to the general area of B 361. From the reference sequence, the stellar density function has been derived specifically for the direction toward the globule. Correction was made for the general interstellar extinction, and the luminosity function with the Wielen's dip was adopted. The resulting density function clearly reveals the existence of the local Cygnus-Orion arm in the direction of B 361 at about 700 pc away from the Sun. Analysis of the star-count data for the program field locates the globule at distance 600 ± 50 pc ; thus, the globule is an object located in the Cygnus-Orion arm, residing somewhat toward its leading edge.

By applying population synthesis method, stellar populations in the nuclei of M31 and M32 are studied. We obtained five and four models for M31 and M32 respectively, for different main sequence turn-offs and keeping the astrophysical constraints as loose as possible. The best models for M31 and M32 are thought to have G0-5 and F5-8 main sequence trun-offs respectively. These models show that the main sequence stars outnumber the giants, which indicates the dwarf-dominance in external galactic nuclei. Even though there are some computational difficulties because of non-uniqueness in solution, two major points can be pointed out when compared to the previous papers. First, the ultraviolet deficiency expected from the conventional metal rich population models is not detected in our models, Instead ultraviolet radiation turns out to be somewhat higher than that of observation. Second one is the minor contribution from the Super Metal Rich (SMR) K giants to the integrated light of the program galaxies. That is, in our models, the SMR contribution is at best the same level as normal giants contrary to the SMR dominance of previous models. Since the loose astrophysical constraints are the major difference of our study from the previous ones, one should re-examine carefully for their validity further.

남부지방(南部地方)에 재배(栽培)되는 고추, 오이, 배추, 딸기 등(等)의 근권토양(根圈土壤)에서 분리(分離), 선발(選拔)된 길항미생물(拮抗微生物)을 이용(利用)하여 Rhizoctonia병(病)의 생물적(生物的) 방제(防除)를 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 근권토양(根圈土壤)에서 분리(分離), 선발(選拔)된 길항균(拮抗菌)은 Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, T. hamatum, T. polysporum, Gliocladium sp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. stutzeri, P. cepacia, Enterobacter sp., Serratia sp., Erwinia herbicola 등(等)으로 동정(同定)되었고, in vitro에서 우수(優秀)한 길항균(措抗菌)은 T. viride, T. harzianum, Gliocladium sp., P. stutzeri, P. cepacia, Serratia sp. 등(等)이었다. In vivo에서의 길항효과(拮抗效果)는 기주(寄主)와 균주(菌株)에 따라 다소 차이(差異)가 있었고, 살균토(殺菌土)에서 비살균토(非殺菌土)보다 길항효과(拮抗效果)가 더 좋은 경향(傾向)을 보였다. 재선발(再選拔)된 6가지 길항균(拮抗菌)을 토양내(土壤內)에 접종(接種)() 했을 때, 길항효과(拮抗效果)가 가장 우수(優秀)한 것은 T. viride 이었다. 병원성(病原性)이 가장 강(强)한 오이 뿌리에서 분리(分離)된 균주(菌株)(AG 1)를 오이, 배추, 무우등(等)에 처리(處理)하여 길항균(拮抗菌)을 접종(接種)하였을 때는, 병원성(病原性)이 강(强)하여 길항효과(拮抗效果)가 약(弱)한 경향(傾向)(40%)이었으나, 고추(AG 1), 고추(AG 2-1), 수도(AG 1)에서 분리(分離)된 균주(菌株)에 대해서는 전반적(全般的)으로 무처리(無處理)에 비해 각각(各各) 70% 정도의 발병(發病) 억제효과(抑制效果)가 있었다.
