    ハト外側中隔でのオプシン、VIP 免疫陽性ニューロンの免疫細胞化学および電子顕微鏡による研究

    CSF-contacting neurons of the lateral septum are considered as a putative deep brain photoreceptor in the avian brain. By means of immunocytochemistry using antibodies to a visual pigment (RET-P1, a monoclonal antibody against opsin, Barnstable, 1980) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), I demonstrated clusters of immunoreactive small neurons in the lateral septum of the pigeon. Opsin-like immunoreactive neurons and VIP-like immunoreactive neurons have similar morphological features. Their perikarya accumulate in the subependymal regions of the ventromedial walls of both lateral ventricles. The labelled neurons are multipolar or bipolar with pyriform or spindle-shaped cell bodies. Immunoreactive CSF-contacting neurons contact the CSF via a process that penetrates the ependyma and terminates in a single knob-like swelling. Immunoreactive fibers originating in the group of cell bodies seem to give rise to dense terminal-like structures in the septal area. Immuno-electron-microscopic investigations of these neurons revealed an accumulation of VIP- and opsin immunoreactive dense-core vesicles (100-150 nm in diameter) in ventricular terminals, perikarya and neuronal terminal-like structure with VIP- and RET-P1-immunolabelling respectively. Based on these evidence it seems clear that VIP-and opsin-like immunoreactive neurons of this study are the same as the neurons that express both opsin- and VIP-like immunoreactivity in the ateral septum of the ring dove (Silver et al., 1988). In this study double immunolabelling using VIP and RET-P1 antibodies shows the coexistence of VIP and opsin in the same dense vesicles.

    First discovery of Bugula stolonifera Ryland, 1960 (Phylum Bryozoa) in Japanese waters, as an alien species to the Port of Nagoya

    Samples taken in 1997 from the Port of Nagoya, Japan, revealed the first record of the cheilostome bryozoan, Bugula stolonifera Ryland in Japanese waters. The species, which has been reported within the last years from several localities over the world, has probably been imported by ships coming to the Port of Nagoya. The species record illustrates the changes to which the Japanese bryozoan communities are subjected due to neozoan immigration.

    Salt-Making Pottery Found in the Ohara-Shell Mound of Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture

    DOI: 10.18999/bulnum.019.03

    The Ohara Shell Mound belonging to the Nara period is situated on the old dune of Onahama Bay in the southeastern part of Tohoku region. Only the salt-making potteries and shells were found in 1968 at the site. The salt-making potteries are cylindrical in form, and this type of pottery is distributed over Ibaragi and Miyagi Prefectures. The development of the Nara and Heian period-salt-making pottery in these areas is thought to have been related to the political situation of these days.

    縄文時代における土製栓状耳飾の研究
    Study of plug-shaped clay ear ornaments in Jomon period

    DOI: 10.18999/bulnum.019.04

    Plug-shaped clay ear ornaments are pierced earrings. These were developed in the latest Jomon period remarkably, and had three characteristics; various size -diameter-, various forms, enormous quantity. In this paper, the author examined the process these characteristics have been formed and showed new interpretation. Having a viewpoint ornament's decoration relate to function as status symbols, the author classified forms of ear ornaments, divided size five-steps - from size I to V -, investigated both composition per stage. The various forms and enormous quantity were observed only in the latest period. The size centered on size I at first, after that became large sized, had variation of size at the Pacific Ocean side of Tohoku region mainly and its manner spread. These changes related to artificial deformation of teeth categorized as mutilation as pinking earflap. The ranks of ear ornament's decoration didn't correlate with cordial burial always. These ear ornaments developed in the principle of the area of broad-leaved deciduous forest that status symbols were not fixed in specific person.

    インド古代初期におけるヤクシャの神像彫刻について
    A Study on Yakṣas Statues of Early Indian Art

    Yakṣas are the Lords of Life, who were gods of ancient India folk cult like Nāgas and Yakṣīs, were originally spiritual beings that dwelled in sacred trees, and have inexhaustible power of life activity. On the other hand, Yakṣas have another aspect of awesomeness, awing ancient people. That is to say, Yakṣas have ambivalent aspects: both benevolence and malevolence. Thus by their nature of ambivalence, Yakṣas have been worshipped by ancient people with desiring for various wishes. Many Yakṣas statues had been established as Bhagavat Images (Icon).
    This paper deal with Yakṣas figures carved in the round from 1st B.C. to 1st A.D., which were discovered at Mathurā, Vidishā, Patnā, and Pawāyā etc. This paper consists of three parts. The first chapter will review some Yakṣas statues so far discussed, stylistically and iconographically. The second chapter deal with two figures recently discovered at Mathurā to bring their iconographic features to light. The third chapter will deal with the inscription of Yakṣa statue, especially Pawāyā image to make clear the aspects of Yakṣa cult in ancient India. With above studies, we will bring essential aspects of Yakṣa Images before Buddhist art into bold relief.

    アジャンター後期石窟における碑銘について
    The Inscriptions at Ajaṇṭā Caves

    vol.19, p. 73-86.

    DOI: 10.18999/bulnum.019.06

    Ajaṇṭā caves are excavated into the face of rock façade sweeping around a semi-circular ravine with the Waghora river flowing below. The site was developed in two distinct phases. An early phase is datable from ca. 100 B.C.E to 100 C.E. After a period of inactivity, excavations resumed from the latter half of the 5th century under patronage.
    My study will focus upon this second period exclusively. Ajaṇṭā includes archaeological evidence in the form of architectural programs, sculptures, paintings and epigraphs, which have attracted the close scrutiny of generations of art-historians and scholars of Indian Buddhism. But a study on the relationship between the art and inscriptions has not been attempted. This article deals with the epigraphs surviving at Ajaṇṭā which provide historical information about patronage and the genealogy of the Vākāṭakas, donative practices and explanatory reference to artists and visitors, and discusses the correspondence between those inscriptions and Ajaṇṭā art such as architecture, sculptures and paintings.
    This article consists of three parts. The first chapter explores the interpretation of some words seen in the dedicatory inscriptions of programmatic caves comparing with usage in the Buddhist texts and the art of Ajaṇṭā itself. The second chapter discusses the date and the purpose of painted inscriptions such as descriptive labels and didactic verses. In the third chapter, we will find that a significant proportion of Ajaṇṭā's intrusive donors are monastic. This chapter examines several epithets of monastic donors seen in the epigraphs and explores the relationship between those donors and donated images.

    Medical moulages are three-dimensional wax figures of a part of human body, invented in Europe and mainly used for the medical education before the domination of color photographs. School of Medicine, Nagoya University, possessed more than five hundreds of dermatological moulages, most of which were produced by Mr. Kentaro Hasegawa under the supervision of Dr. Kaiichiro Kano during 1946-64. These moulages are so important specimens as a witness to the history of medical education and the art of wax modeling that the school transferred them to the Nagoya University Museum in 2000 and 2002. We made use of the occasion, providing a list and digital-photographic record of the specimens. This review presents the list with a summary of their history.

    In setting up and running a successful exhibition, the curator needs to be conscious of visitors' reactions to both the museum and its exhibitions. Questionnaires are a good way to discover visitors' opinions. This paper describes a newly-established database at the Nagoya University Museum which collates questionnaire results and provides curators with a convenient reference system.

    Serial histological light-microscoopic sections of human embryonal and fetal specimens were transferred to deposit in the Nagoya University Museum from the School of Medicine, Nagoya University in 2002. These specimens were composed of 17 individuals, witch were approxmately 14-days to 12-week of embryonal and fetal ages. Most specimens were kept well-preserved conditions. These are quite valuable specimens for studying and educations.
