such species as occur are sometimes subspecifically different from 
those of the south. Hokkaido, of course, is very different from 
Hondo, and the occurrence there of such typically Japanese species

they are comparatively recent introductions, even though in each 
case subspecifically separable from their Hondo relatives.
