The author has intended to investigate the pathogenetic mechanism of the so-called meteorotropic diseases, particularly that of the cyclonopathia, and this is the second paper on this line. In order to analyse the pathogenesis of these diseases, he compares the prefrontal states of patients (not necessarily weather-hypersensitive patients!) with the postfrontal ones.<br>At first he has studied statistically the characteristics of the depression near Japan. The main results obtained from over 2000 cases may be summed up as follows;<br>1) there are at most 29% frontless depressions, <br>2) there are 96% frontal lines of the straight line type and only 4% those of &lambda; type, <br>3) the mode of the angle between frontal line and parallel is nearly equal to 40 degrees.<br>Thus it would be sufficient for the present purpose to determine the spatial distribution of the biological measure of autonomic regulation around the moving center of depression. He applies here the spatial n-method introduced in his previous paper (this journal vol. 6) to get quantitatively the statistical law of the autonomic regulation caused by the passage of depression.<br>He obtains the following results:<br>1) the imidazol bodies contained in the urine increase postfrontally, <br>2) the volume of urine decreases prefrontally, <br>3) the specific gravity of urine increases prefrontally, <br>4) the body temperature increases prefrontally, <br>5) the Biernaeki's reaction is acceralated prefrontally, <br>6) the negativity of the Citochol reaction increases postfrontally.<br>The figures Nos. 4-11 show that there is a prefrontal extremal zone which is nearly parallel to the frontal line and the distance between them is equal to ca. 500km. This suggests us that there exist the extremal biological states in the body ca. 12 hours before the passage of frontal line, which would correspond to the weather forecasting of some weather-hypersensitive patients.
