Research Abstract	The theme of this project is to grasp that make a collection of the materials for songs, draw up a classification for songs, and research into modes of singing. Hitherto I collected the materials for songs of previously publised literatures, and I reserched the nature voice at Ikema, Hirara-City・ Ueno-village・ Tarama-village・ Irabu, Irabu-town (Miyako-islands), Ohama, Ishigaki-city・ Iriomotesomai, Taketomi-town. Yonaguni-town(Yaeyama-islands). I came to the conclusion that the modes of singing of Rukyu-islands exist as repetition <Fukushouhou> , allotment <Buntan-Kashouhou> , alternation <Kougo-Kashouhou> , unison <Seishouhou> and solo-types <Dokushouhou> , hasically. Again I pointed out,that is, there are many repetition and allotment-types in Miyako-islands,alternation and allotment-types in Yaeyana-islands. Then I published the notice of "An Analysis of modes of singing of Yaeyaman Songs and Ballads,, "An Analysis of modes of singing of Taraman Songs and Ballads,,.
