Research work on the calcareous algal remains had been started by K. NISHIWADA in 1895 when he reported the presence of <I>Lithothamnium nishiwadai</I> ISHIJIMA in the Miocene Megamiyama limestone exposed on the slope of Megamiyama, Shizuoka Prefecture. Since then, the progress of scientific researches in this field became rather noticeable in our country, as exemplified especially by the works of W. ISHIJIMA, H. YABE and K. KONISHI on the Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic fossils.<BR>The present writer also has engaged in the researches of the Mesozoic and Paleozoic fossils of this kind for the past twenty years. Several other Japanese paleontologists also have endeavoured for these researches.<BR>Since the present paper describes in rather detail the distribution of the algal remains and the recent progress in this field, the reader may be able to get a general idea of the up-to-date advancement in Japan.
