Hokkaido, of course, is very different from Hondo, and the occurrence there of such typically Japanese species as Micromys speciosu.s and geisha is somewhat unexpected; possibly they are comparatively recent introductions, even though in each case subspecifically separable from their Hondo relatives. The following is a list of the species obtained in each of the four islands referred to :- Hokkaido : Sciurus vulgaris orientis. Mus norvegicus. Micromys speciosus ainu, geisha hokkaidi.
