The Kushiro coal basin is situated on the south side of the eastern part of Hokkaido, the northernmost main island of Japan. Until the present, there have been many contributions regarding the stratigraphy of the Paleogene formations in this basin, including the author's own studies. In the present paper, the results of these studies will be briefly outlined at first. Then the development of the Paleogene basin will be described in detail, The most remarkable facts observed in the course of this study are as follows : 1) In the initial stage of the coal basin, the general trends seem to have been ih' a West-East directiofi, in respe6t to the directioh of isopach lines of formations, the boundary line of heterofacies in rocks and fossi!-assemblages. This is named the Early Urahoro stage. 2) Various kinds of bio-facies and sedimentary facies can be recognized in 2nd stage too. Their general trends in arrangement, however, tend to be NNE to SSW. The deepest part of the basin is situated in the eastern part. This is denominated the Later Urahbro stage. 3) In the next stage the basin becomes deepef than it was in the former stage as a whole. Further, the basin seems to have been more uniform throughout, from the view point of bioand sedimentary facies. In spite of this, ,the sediments show local differences in thickness. The general trend of isopach lines extends nearly NNE tg SSW, like th6 'pteceding stage. The deepest part of the basin seems to' hav6 been 'shifting far from east to west. This is the Eariy Onbetsu stage. 4) In the Later Onbetsu stage, the thickest part of the basin has been much moved towards the west, lying nearly at the edge of the former sedimentary basin. ' Volcanic products were developed along the lines of the deepest part of the basin of the preceeding stage. 5) The characteristic of the migration of the thickest part of the basin towards the west from the east is not only observable in the Paleogene sedimentary basin but also it continues from the Cretaceous to Pliocene or Recent. This condition implies the existence of and some effect of the "Paleo-Nemuro Iand" which was !ocated on the south-eastern edge of this sedimentary basin. Lastly the relation between tectonic and sedimentary facies as well as thickness of formation will be discussed briefly. Structural movements during the process of sedimentation such as occurrence of intraformational foldings, planeless faults and sandstone dykes, are evidenced in areas and horizons where the most sudden disturbances in sedimentation took place. Furthermore, the geological structure of this field has been infiuenced by the features of sedimentation, namely the direction and position of faults and axes of foldings are in coincidence with the sedimentational features of this basin as above stated.
