Takamura established a theory on splitting families of degenerations of
complex curves. He introduced a powerful method for constructing a splitting
family, called a barking family, in which there appear not only a singular
fiber over the origin but also singular fibers over other points, called
subordinate fibers. In this paper, for the case of degenerations of elliptic
curves, we determine the types of these subordinate fibers.Comment: 33 page
