This study was conducted to investigate the faunal composition and distribution patterns of macrobenthic community in the deep sea sediments of the KODOS area, the northeastern Pacific Ocean during May 1996. Benthic animals were collected at 25 stations using a spade type box corer. Sediments were sieved through -.3 mm mesh screen. A total of 17 faunal groups in 9 phyla and 363 specimens were identified. Nematoda was the most abundant faunal group which accounted for 30.0% of total abundance. Other dominant faunal groups were foraminiferans (25.1%), harpacticoids (10.2%), xenophyophores (5.2%), and polychaetes (4.7%), Polychaeta was a typically dominant component of macrobenthic community in the study area except traditionally recognized meiofauna taxa. Mean occurrence number of faunal taxa was ca. 6 per 0.01 m$\^$2/, and mean density was estimated as 1,288 indiv./m$\^$2/. The abundance of whole fauna and that of each faunal group was highest at the surface layer of sediment, and decreased monotonously along the sediment depth; 98% of faunal abundance was found within 10 cm depth layer.

1. A quantitative ecological investigation of the intertidal sand beach at Yong-ho Bay, located about 6km NE of Busan Harbour was carried out from February, 1974 to February, 1975. Composition of the fauna, diversity, faunal affinity and distributions in time and space were studied. Some ecological factors influencing to the community also discussed. 2. The beach can be classified as a fine-sand beach which is dominated by Armandia lanceolata and Nephtys sp. (A). Thirty two species of animals representing 29 genera were found. In number, two polychaetes, A. lanceolata and Nephtys sp. (A) were dominant, while one polychaete, Neanthes japonica and one bivalvia, Laternula limicela were dominant in weight. 3. Distribution of the fauna was devided into three areas of different faunal compositions with sediment types particularly by mud fraction content, and it well agreed with faunal affinity and diversity index value. 4. Seasonal fluctuation of the three dominant species, A. lanceolata, Nephtys sp. (A) and N. japonica was studied. Except Nephtys sp. (A), the fluctuation were closely related to the brooding time. 5. There was no relationship between faunal distribution and organic matter content. Submergence time affected the distribution of some species but the influence to the whole-community was little.

This study was carried out to investigate the faunal composition and distribution pattern of meiobenthic community in the deep sea sediments of northeastern Pacific Ocean. Faunal samples were collected at 10 stations using a multiple corer and a spade type box corer during May 1996. A total of 18 meiofaunal groups were found, and Sarcomastigophora was the most dominant group which accounted for 35.8% of total meiofaunal abundance. Nematoda (30.8%), Nauplius larvae of Crustacea (11.9%), Ciliophora (6.8%) and Harpacticoida (3.0%) which were also important components of the meiofaunal community. All of these five faunal groups comprised more than 90% of total meiofauna. The highest density of 195 ind./10 $cm^2$ was found at St. 4 (4960 m water depth), but the lowest one, 85 ind./10 $cm^2$ at St. 1 (4969 m water depth). The overall mean density of meiofauna was estimated as $1.34{\times}10^5\;ind./m^2$. The abundance of meiofauna showed a slow decreasing trend along the water depth. The highest density was observed in the upper 1 cm and density decreased drastically with increasing depth from the surface.

In order to evaluate the relationship between geochemical characteristics and benthic facies of the sediments from the Oenaro Island where red tide proliferation is first observed every year including this year, surface and short multiple core sediment samples were analyzed in terms of geochemical and benthic facies variation. The contents of organic carbon, carbonate, and sulfide gas were relatively low. The variation in C/N ratios, which indicate nature of organic carbon, suggested that the organic carbon recorded in the study area is composed of mixtures of marine and terrigenous organic matters. The concentration of minor elements found at the surface and multiple core sediment samples were also low as well as the enrichment factors(Ef) for the seven heavy metals indicated that the sediment of this area is not polluted significantly. The macrobenthic faunal community comprised 61 species, and their mean density was 708 ind./m2. Polychaete worms were major taxa of this benthic community. A crustacean amphipod, Melita sp. was the most abundant species accounted for 20.7% of total abundance, and the small polychaetes such as Heteromastus filiformis, Paralacydonia poradoxa, Magelona japonica and Sigambra tentaculata were the next dominant species. The macrobenthos around the Oenaro Island were more diverse and abundant than that in Gamak Bay. The benthic communities in the study area sustained somewhat different species composition based on the cluster analysis and the MDS ordination. The benthic community health condition at three stations seemed to be unbalanced, and slightly polluted based on the biological index such as BPI and BC. There was no clear relationship between the geochemistry characteristic and the benthic faunal facies attributed by the micro-algal blooms in this coastal area.

한국산 박쥐류의 계통분류학적 연구의 첫 단계로써, 1985년 10월부터 1987년 7월까지 18장소에서 채집된 한국산 박쥐류 중, 관박쥐과(Rhinolophidae)의 1종과 애기박쥐과 (Vespertilionidae)의 6종에 대하여 외·내부형태 및 상환골의 형태를 이용하여 분류학적인 검토를 하였다. 이들 중에는, 희귀종인 문둥이 박쥐(Eptesicus serotinus brachydigitus)가 포함되어, 본 아종에 대한 상세한 형태학적인 특징을 추가·기재하였다. 또한 현생 한국산 익수류상, 고기후 및 고지리를 고려하여 한국산 소익수류상의 성립과정에 대하여 고찰하였다. 즉, 홍적세의 고기후 및 고지리의 변화에 의해서, 남방계보다 북방계 종류가 풍부한 현재의 익수류상이 성립되었다고 생각된다. As a part of studies on taxonomy and phylogeny of bats inhabiting Korea, a taxonomic review of one rhinolophid and six vespertilionid bats collected at 18 localities during the period from October 1985 to July 1987 was carried out, basing on the external, cranial, dental and humeral morphology. These bats include a rare species, Eptesicus serotinus brachydigitus, the detailed characters of which were described in addition to the original description by Mori (1928b). Further, the Korean microchiropteran faunal succession was described laking into consideration the recent chiropteran fauna, and climatic and geographical changes in the Pleistocene: the recent bat fauna of Korea has become abundant in the north-originating species rather than in the south-originating ones, which is a reverse tendency in the Palearctic continent.

An investigation on the zonal communities in Chokchon macrotidal flat, Incheon, Korea, was carried out on July 1994, eight years after the initial survey done by Frey et al. (1987a and b). A survey transect (4 km long) was established with 41 stations having an equi-interval of 100 m. Macrofaunas were sampled in July 1994. R-mode cluster analysis and ordination analysis (detrended correspondence analysis or DCA) were performed. The aims of the investigation were to: (1) observe the distribution and abundance patterns, including zonation of benthic macrofaunal communities in the area; and (2) gain information about faunal changes between two different periods. The primary feature of distribution was corresponded with Frey's zonation, and this was shaped by three level-specific species groups. Significant changes in dominant species were detected when compared with the faunal assemblages of 1986. The bivalve mollusk, Meretrix petechialis, seemed to have disappeared. Two newly arrived organic pollution indicator species, Theora fragilis and Capitella capitata, were regarded as impregnable proof of response to eutrophication, although the concrete evidence on the eutrophication source was not found.
