在日本附近海域已记录到五种海龟，即海龟、Eretmochelys imbricata、Caretta caretta、Lepidochelys olivacea 和 Dermochelys coriacea（Nakamura 和 Ueno，1968）。据报道，其中前三种在琉球群岛的岛屿上产卵（Uchida 和 Nishiwaki，1981）。世博会。纪念公园管理基金会（1984）根据居民的信息推测了琉球群岛各海龟物种的筑巢海滩分布。然而，这份报告在物种识别方面可能包含一些不可靠的数据，因为大多数居民似乎很难正确识别海龟物种。事实上，除了一些当地记录外，人们对琉球群岛内的巢穴分布和每个物种筑巢的相对频率知之甚少（例如 Miyawaki，1981 年；Kamezaki，1985 年）。这里介绍一下琉球群岛最西南端的八重山群（不包括与那国岛和鸠间岛）海龟巢穴的调查结果，旨在为进一步的海洋生物学研究提供基础数据。
Five species of sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, Car etta caretta, Lepidochelys olivacea and Dermochelys coriacea, have been recorded from the waters adjacent to Japan (Nakamura and Ueno, 1968). Of these, the former three species were reported to lay eggs on the islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago (Uchida and Nishiwaki, 1981). Expo. Memorial Park Management Foundation (1984) surmised the distribution of nesting beaches of each sea turtle species in the Ryukyu Archipelago based on information from the inhabitants. This report, however, may contain some unreliable data in terms of species identification, since it seems difficult for most inhabitants to identify sea turtle species correctly. Virtually little is known as yet about the distribution of nests and relative frequency of the nestings of each species within the Ryukyu Archipelago, except for a few local records (e. g. Miyawaki, 1981; Kamezaki, 1985). Here I present the results of the survey of sea turtle nests in the Yaeyama Group (exclusive of Yonagunijima and Hatomajima), southwesternmost part of the Ryukyu Archipelago, for the purpose of providing basic data for further biological research on the sea
