dry season 1971 in the same villages, which covered all house-
holds in two or more neighborhoods to a total of about 200
households and selected those neighborhoods in which the
greatest number of the thirty sample farmers were located.

These two sources are referred to as ‘Sample Survey’ and ‘Ag-
ricultural Census’ respectively in the tables. The 1981 resur-
veys (covering wet season 1980-1981 and dry season 1981)
covered all households in groups of contiguous neighborhoods
up to a total of about 125 households in each village. It is im-
portant to bear in mind that while we speak of the nine ‘vil-
lages’ in the text and tables we are in fact analyzing parts of the
villages (neighborhoods), with considerable overlap but not
complete correspondence in coverage between 1971 and
1981.
Since there is sometimes considerable interneighborhood
variation within the rather large administrative units called
‘villages’ (desa or kelurahan) in Indonesia, the lack of complete
correspondence between the neighborhoods surveyed in 1971
and 1981 can result in problems of comparability. We think,
however, that the 1981 resurveys, trying to cover the largest
possible proportion of the baseline neighborhoods, create less
problems of comparison than Hayami and Kikuchi’s previous

(1979) resurvey in Mariuk (Hayami and Kikuchi 1981:ch. 9, in
which Mariuk is referred to as ‘North Subang village’); the 1979
resurvey appears to have been carried out in a quite different
corner of Mariuk than the baseline surveys. Hence it is not
suprising that some of Hayami and Kikuchi’s conclusions about
change in Mariuk differ from ours.
In addition to published monographs on most of the nine
