The writer discussed previously the population movements in the Feudal Days in the lower part of the Yoshinogawa valley in Tokushima Pref. and acknowledged that the further the region locates from Muyacho, the lesser the farmers move to the town, but that the correlation between the dis-tance and the number of the farmers who deserted their native lands is not so simple as said even now. The curve is the highest at about 4 kin away from the town and in the inner part of it as well as the outer the number lessens. However in the outer part of the 4kin circle, there still exist the regions where many farmers deserted and the factor of the movement can not be explained by the distance from the town. The writer calculated the ratio of feoff to clansmen in each of the old villages and noticed that the higher the ratio, the larger the number of the farmers who deserted their native lands.
In the Feudal Days the feud of a clan consists of the directly controled lands by daimyo (Okurachi) and the feoff to clansmen (Saichi or Chigyochi), the farmers of the former were called Okura-farmers and those of the latter Zuiri-farmers. It is interesting to notice how Okurachi are distributed from the standpoint of political geography, viz. the regions financially advanta-geous for daimyo were all controled directly and the rest were given to clansmen In comparison of agricultural management the Zuiri-farmers were more disadvantageous and so they were apt to move to other districts, in short, higher feoff regions coincide those many farmers deserted.
