Mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters were measured on the deciduous teeth of the prehistoric Jomon and Yayoi series of Japan. By the comparisons between them, it was implied that the deciduous tooth size was larger in the immigrants from the Asian Continent in the Yayoi period than in the Jomon natives, as in the permanent ones. On the other hand, the deciduous tooth size of the modern Japanese was smaller than those of the two prehistoric populations. From the distance analyses applied to the deciduous crown diameters, relationships of the modern Japanese with the two prehistoric populations were not so conspicuous as shown in the permanent teeth. In wider aspect, the comparisons with several other populations including non-Mongoloid series demonstrated that in deciduous tooth size the Jomon and Yayoi peoples had the close affinities with other Mongoloid populations, especially with the modern Japanese.
