This survey was undertaken from November 1969 to February 1970, and in December 1971. I have already reported the spatial structure of the agricultural complex, under the title of "The Swidden Crops and the Planting Pattern of Dourou Agriculture in Nord Cameroun" in the Volume VIII of Kyoto University African Studies. The Dourou are swidden farmers in the Savanna woodland, planting sorghum, maize, pearl millet, rice, groundnut, cowpea, Bambarra- nut, sesame, okra in the bush field, and several kinds of yam and macabo in the yam field. In this report I describe the Dourou agricultural calendar in terms of their concept of seasonal cycle (months), focusing on an aspect of the calendrial cycle in their agricultural complex. In Dourou society, the native concept of seasonal cycle (months) is as follows: It seems that this concept of seasonal cycle (months) has mainly functioned as a farming calendar among the Dourou.}, pages = {537--564}, title = {ドゥル族の季節観と農作業暦}, volume = {1}, year = {1976}, yomi = {ハタ, ノブユキ} }
