\S 0. Introduction

Let $P.(C)$ be an n-dimensional complex projective space with Fubini-Study metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4, and let $M$ be a real hypersurface of $P_{n}(C)$ . $M$ has an almost contact metric structure induced from the complex structure of $P_{n}(C)$ (see, \S 1). Many differential geometers have studied $M$ (cf. [3], [9], [12] and [13]) by using the structure $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$

Typical examples of real hypersurfaces in $P_{n}(C)$ are homogeneous ones. R. Takagi ([11]) showed that all homogeneous real hypersurfaces in $P_{n}(C)$ are realized as the tubes of constant radius over compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of rank 1 or 2. Namely, he showed the following:

Theorem A ([11]). Let $M$ be a homogeneous real hypersurface of $P_{n}(C)$ . Then $M$ is a tube of radius over one of the following Kaehler submanifolds: (A) hyPerplane $P_{n-1}(C)$ , where $0
