Taxonomic studies in external morphology, principal component analysis and cluster analysis were conducted to understand the intraspecific relationship among three habitats (Jirisan, Odaesan and Ulleungdo) of allium voctorialis var. platyphyllum. External morphology such as bulb color, leaf blade length and width, petiole length, total leaf length, peduncle length, perianth lobe length and width, length of anther and filament were useful characters for identification of poplations in three habitats. The results obtained based on the principal component (Pc) analysis of treated 72 OTUs(included outgroup) were divided into three groups by the PC 1 ,2,3 and the sums of contributions for the total variance were 84.1%(PC1 51.0%, PC2 24.9% and PC3 8.2%, respectively). In cluster analysis by the UPGMA and Ward's methods , there was similarities in the compostion of clustered taxa, and only Ulleungdo population was distinctly identified from population of other two habitats.

The bacteria utilizing 3-chlorobenzoate as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated by Most-Probable-Number technique and identified in Korean coastal waters. Pseudomonas, Moraxella and Flavobacterium were dominant genera and comprised 70.2% of total isolates. Forty-four biochemical, cultural, morphological and physiological testa were performed and average linding cluster analysis was conducted from the test results. Total 92.7% of isolates were clustered into 17 groups under the 80% similarity level. The degradation of 3-chlorobenzoate was performed by many heterogeneous bacteria and the species diversity of these bacterial group offers informations of the stability of bacterial communities in relation to carbon compound cycling in coastal enviromnents.

In the present investigation, some cluster analyses were done for each population of the native honeybee workers(Apis cerana), which were selected for 15 different localities in spring and 16 in summer from Korea. In this analysis, the seasonal segregation was perfectly revealed by both Ward's and the average linkage between groups methods, whereas, it did not necessarily revealed any systematic relationship between geographical groups.

우리나라 현실을 알기 위해서는 分類學의 歷史的 背景을 살필 필요가 있다. 그 역사를 Darwin 以前과 Darwin 以後로 크게 區分할 수 있다. Darwin 이전의 대표자로서 그리이스의 Aristoteles와 18세기의 Linne를 들 수 있는데 Linne는 種名의 二名法의 확립과 카테고리의 설정으로써 分類學의 發展에 크게 공헌하였고, 그의 哲學的 背景은 Aristoteles의 사상과 통하는 스콜라 哲學이었다. 그의 種의 槪念은 靜的인 것이었고, 그는 少數의 識別形質만을 重要視하였다. Darwin 이후에는 進化思想이 分類學에 절대적인 영향을 주어 학자들은 動物의 系統探求에 熱을 올리게 되었고, 種의 개념은 動的인 경우로 되었다. 또한 Linne 이후에는 動物의 新種記載가 급증하였다. 20세기에 들어와서는 自然系統分類學 生物學的 系統分類學, 數理分類學 (numerical taxonomy, 二次大戰 이후), 生化學的 技術의 도입 등 分類學에 새로운 면이 첨가되면서 種의 개념을 변천하고 種의 定義는 多樣化하였으며, 分類學上의 形質과 系統發生 究明方法이 확장되었다.

A total of 858 heterotrohic bacteria were isolated and analyzed hy numerical method to investigate the heterotrophic hacterial community structure in Naktong Estuary. Although the values of H' (Shannon's diversity index). ranged between 1.54 and 3.49. were similar with those of the data hefore the construction of Naktong River barrage, however J' (evenness index. 0.31-0.80) was reduced. Physiological tolerance index for water temperature ($P_{s}$) was high at St.l and 2 whose depthes arc shallower than the other stations. and indices for pH ($P_{h}$) and salinity ($P_{s}$) were high at St. 2. 3. 4 where freshwater and seawater arc mixed. The predominant clusters were identified as Aeromonas. Vihrio. Pseudomonas. Acinelobacter-Morexella. Alcaligenes. Flavobacterium. Micrococcaccae. and Enterohacteriaceae. The kinds nf the isolates were similar with the previous result. hut the dominant genus was changed. These results suggest that the environmental changes in Naktong Estuary affect the hacterial physiological adaptation rather than the composition of heterotrophic hactcrial community.

Patterns of morphological variation in Korean Cirsium were examined using numerical analysis, and the delimitation of taxa was evaluated. Principal components analysis of individuals of taxa using 61 morphological characters revealed the presence of two major groups. One group included C. lineare, C. vlassovianum, and C. setidens, the other contained C. pendulum, C. japonicum var. japonicum, C. japonicum var. spinosissimum, C. schantarense, C. nipponicum, and C. rhiniceros. Also, the result of cluster analysis recognized three sections, Onotrophe, Pseudo-eriolepis, and spanioptilon. Korean Cirsium was classified into three sections; C. japonicum var. japonicum, C. japonicum var. spinosissimum, C. schantarense, C. rhiniceros and C. nipponicum were belonged to sect. Onotrophe, C. setidens, C. vlassovianum and C. lineare were belonged to sect. Spanioptilon, and C. pendulum was belonged to sect. Pseudo-eriolepis. In conclusion, Korean Cirsium was classified into three sections, eight species, three varieties, and five forms.

Chemo- and numerical taxonomic studies on the isolate SL-387 producing novel aminopeptidase M inhibitors MR-387A and B were carried out The genus of the isolate was determined as Streptomyces by cultural and morphological data and chemical indices. Forty one taxonomic unit characters were tested for determining the species of the isolate, and the data were analyzed numerically using a computer program as called TAXON. The isolate was best matched to Streptomyces neyagawaensis in the major cluster 18 of Streptomyces with $S_{SM}$ value of 75.67%. On the base of chemotaxonomic data and TAXON analysis, the isolate SL-387 was identified to be a member of Streptomyces neyagawaensis.

The general morphological characters of Lysimchia sect. Spicatae were reviewed. From the results, numerical analyses were conducted based on 34 morphological characters from 14 populations of three species in Korea in order to investigate the key characters among the treated taxa and taxonomic delimitation and to discuss the systematic relationship. Habitat, leaf apices, presence or absent of hair on leaves, stipules, stems and bracts, branch of stems, kind of hair on floral axis and pedicels, shape of florescens were important diagnostic characters to identify the species. The relationship between Lysimachia clethoides and L. barystachys was more close than that of L. fortunei based on the quantitative characters. Also, a new key was made up from the result.

Specimens of five species of Apodemus(A. agrarius, A. chevrieri, A. draco, A. latronum, and A. peninsulae) from east Asia (Korea and China) were used for numerical taxonomic analyses with 31 external and cranial characters. Two groups and eight subgroups within them were recognized: [I; a large-size form; (A. agrarius chejuensis), (A. chevrieri), (A. draco orestes and A. latronum), and(A. peninsulae peninsulae and A. p. preator)], [II; a small-size form; (A. agrarius coreae), (A. agrarius manchuricus, A. a. ningpoensis, and A. a. pallidior), (A. draco draco), and (A. peninsulae sowerbyi)]. Conclusions based on morphometric analyses are such as followings: 1) Morphometric characters appeared not to be useful in order to distinguish two subgenera in Apodemus (Apodemus and Alsomys), 2) further analysis is necessary to determine whether or not A. draco and A. latronum are conspecific, and 3) A. a. chejuensis is in morphometric characters the largest form among five species of Apodemus studied. Moreover, it is confirmed: 1) A. agrarius, A. chevrieri, and A. peninsulae are distinct species, 2) A. draco and A. latronum are not conspecific with A. peninsulae. 3) Three forms of A. agrarius (large-size form, medium-size form, and small-size form) can be recognized as three subspecies [(A. a. chejuensis), (A. agrarius coreae), and (A, a, ningpoensis including A. a. manchuricus and A. a. pallidior)], 4)A. draco draco and A. draco orestes are distinct subspecies, 5) A. peninsulae peninsulae (including A. p. preator) and A. p. sowerbyi are distinct subspecies.
