Emperor Nintoku, to 638, when the Empress Suiko died. The first in the line, it will be seen, like so many of his predecessors, died a centenarian, but (though the Kojiki records Yuriaku also as a centenarian) the average accepted age of his seventeen successors did not exceed the very human standard of sixty -three years. Mr. Bramsen's ex- planation of this decrease is that in the reign of Nintoku, the Chinese year, double the length of that from Equinox to Equinox, became known to the Japanese, through their inter- course with Korea, and that at the end of his reign it was formally adopted.
