No specimens intermediate in size between these large Moles 
and the true wogura have as yet turned up. Possibly the two 
forms ought to be regarded as specifically distinct.

Specimens from Kiushiu may be regarded as typical talpoides, 
for that island is the first locality mentioned in Temminck’s 
original account, besides being that which contains Nagasaki, 
where the factory of the early Dutch traders was situated. 
A pair of well-grown Kiushiu specimens measure (in mm.) as 
follows :—

Kiushiu. <A pair measure :— 
3. Head and body 96; tail 32; hind foot 15:5.

The gener al colour of the Kiushiu and Shikoku specimens is a 
brown, between vandyke and seal-brown, much browner than in 
those from Northern and Central Hondo. 
“These animals are undoubtedly partly herbivorous; for 
examination of many stomachs showed them to be frequently 
filled with vegetable matter, probably some root. Remains of 
earthworms are also frequently found. I catch as many specimens 
in traps baited with wheat or rice as in those baited with flesh. At 
all times of the year they come frequently above ground, especially 
in grassy places.
