Miyanoura, Yakushima. Sea-level. 
Two specimens in the Owston Collection. 
A small insular form, rather larger than the typical wogura of 
Yokohama, far smaller than the large kobee of 8.W. Hondo, 
Shikoku, and the Oki Islands. Colour rather dark, tending towards 
slaty ; not so brown as in kobec.

Type. Old male. B.M. No. 6.1.4.394. Original number 569. 
Collected 13 June, 1905. 
The recurrence of a small Mole at the south-west corner of the 
Japanese Islands, separated from the other smail one of N.K. 
Hondo by the large kobew, renders it a difficult matter to know 
how best to name the different forms. But as in my paper 
describing kobe the original wogura is allocated to the Yokohama 
animal, it seems better to maintain that reference in the absence 
of direct evidence to show that wogura was given to the small 
Mole now described. 
The extreme uniformity in the size of the specimens is very 
noteworthy. 
At the instance of Mr. Robert Anderson I have used for this 
Mole the name of Mr. K. Kanai, a native Japanese helper, to 
whom he and his brother were much indebted for assistance. 
Mr. Anderson states that the Mole is exceedingly common in 
Yakushima, where the damp climate no doubt produces a plentiful 
crop of earthworms. 
3. CROCIDURA DSI-NEZUMI UMBRINA T'emm. (?). 
@. 547. Miyanoura. 40’. 
“Caught in forest of large trees and bamboo undergrowth.”— 
tig Vole 
This Shrew is rather darker and longer-tailed than the 
ordinary Japanese C’. dsi-nezwnui, and may represent the form 
described by Temminck as Sorex umbrinus.
