Abstract
Conclusion and Summary: An advantage in the Iδ method which utilizes the Iδ‐index for the description and analysis of population structure is that the values obtained through the use of this method indicated the degrees of non‐randomeness of the distribution of individuals so that they are comparable directly with each other. In this paper, equations representing some basic relations between the Iδ‐values of sample and population and those between the inter‐group Iδ and intra‐group Iδ were described and an example of their application to the field data was presented. Though the equations and methods may still have such a weakness as to be supplemented or corrected from mathematical point of view, they seem to be useful at least as the basis for the the future study for the development of the Iδ method.
