Edmund Naumann (1854-1927), a German geologist, had been in Japan from 1875 to 1885. In 1885, he published his principal work, "Ueber den Bau und die Entstehung der japanischen Inseln", in which geology of Japan, for the first time, was discussed systematically. His attention was paid to a division of geological structure of Japanese Islands, that is, "die zoneweise Anordnung" and so-called "Fossa Magna". Assuming two kinds of lateral pressures, "eine von der Seite des Continents aus nach aussen drangenden Kraft" and "eine Pressung aus SW" of "die Bewegung in der Shichitokette", he gave "ein Versuch" for geotectonic history of Japanese Islands. The main purpose of the present article is to clarify the logical construction developed in the Naumann's theory.
