ResumoTHE Society for Research in Asiatic Music (T6ya Ongaku Gakkai) was founded in 1937 for the purpose of investigating Asian music, including Japanese music, from both a historical and musical point of view. In this way the Society hoped to further Japanese musicological studies in general. At present the Society has 257 members and is governed by a board of 13 directors with a staff of 7 managing secretaries. Dr. Hisao Tanabe is president. The Society has six main functions. The first is the publication of a journal, reports and books, and the issuing of phonograph records. The Society's journal, the Ty6 Ongaku Kenkyu, was first published in 1937 and has now reached the thirteenth issue. Its articles have covered a variety of subjects from ancient Chinese music and archeological finds to modern primitives in Formosa and acoustical-mathematical equations. We have also on occasion mimeographed the materials used in lectures before the Society. The three most extensive works in this style are: 1) Skushigoto
