In Botel Tobago, a former Japanese possession off the east coast of Formosa and under Chinese administration since the War, research was carried out from the end of May to the beginning of June 1946 by Chinese scholars. The Botel Tobago Scientific Expedition consisted of Chinese scholars of both the Mainland and Formosa and Japanese scholars under the leadership of Dr. MA Ting-Yin. The writer joined the expedition from May 31 to June 10, to study how the Yamis had adjusted to transitional conditions. The change of the administrative system, especially the abolition of the isolation policy of the island resulted in the exploitation of the aborigines by foreigners in trade, with the consequent development of a distrustful attitude of the former against the latter. During the war, the Japanese garrison promoted the popularization of the Japanese language among the islanders, and after the War the Chinese made an effort to diffuse their language but without success, and the Fukien and English vocabularies were learned by the islanders through the medium of the Japanese language. In spite of the recent introduction of the "water-gun, " tobacco and an increasing taste for clothing, the substantial part of their every day life, especially the spiritual life has experienced little change, if any. Platform exposure burial which was newly found in the investigation provides a link in the series of burial forms from the Philippines to Ryukyu. Bracelets of green stone probably related to those of Formosa and Kasho-to were noted among the archaeological materials. As to folklore, a tale of the Two-Suns motif was recorded. The population is on the decrease and the Indonesian natives of Formosa are now generally in straitened circumstances.
