| Research Abstract |
(1)Japanese biological nomenclatures were standardized for the education in senior high school on the basis of the Japanese Scientific Terms compiled by the Ministry of Education. Science and culture, Japan. The Committees from The Zoological Society of Japan and The Botanical Society of Japan carried the editorial procedures into effect.
(2)The standard terms (ca.2.100 words) regarded as necessary for the school education were collected. and classified into two categories : important terms (A-rank : ca.700 words) and basic or pheripheral terms (B-rank : ca.1,400 words).
(3)Special effort was paid in simplifying the synonyms.
(4)Each term was followed by a short explanatory remark, each of which was written by one or more of experts in the corresponding field. The authors were chosen by the Committee and numbered about 160 in total.
(5)The explanatory remarks were foused on the definition, reasons for selection among synonyms and exposition for adequate use of the terms.
(6)The result is to be published by the University of Tokyo press.
