JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY 
NOTES ON THE MAMMAL FAUNA OF TSUSHIMA AND IKI 
ISLANDS, JAPAN 
By Nagamichi Kuroda, Rigakushi, M. A. S. M. 
The principal papers on the mammals of Tsushima were published 
by Mr. 0. Thomas (Ann. & Mag. N. H., (6), XIX, p. 161, 1897; P. 
Z. S., p. 182, 1905; op. cit., pp. 47-54, 1908). Mr. N. Teraoka and I 
obtained 10 species and subspecies of mammals on that island during 
the last year. I have been able to add 2 species to those hitherto 
known from it, bringing the total number of forms to 14. 
On Iki Island Mr. Thomas writes that ‘‘After Tsushima Mr. Ander- 
son visited the Iki and Goto Islands, the resulting collections proving 
that those groups are absolutely similar to S. W. Japan in their mammal 
fauna’^ (P. Z. S., 1908, p. 49). Mr. H. Orii collected mammals on 
Iki Island and Mr. Teraoka and I also visited the island and brought 
back a small number (3 species) of mammals. 
All the known mammal fauna of Tsushima and Iki Islands are listed 
and noted below. 
The * mark indicates the new additions to the mammal list of both 
islands. 
FAM. TALPIDAJ 
1. Urotriclius talpoides adversus Thomas. — Anderson obtained this form on 
Tsushima (Thomas, P. Z. S., 1908, p. 49). 
2. Mogera wogura kanai Thomas. — A specimen was presented by Mr. S. 
Fukagawa. It was obtained at Izugahara, Tsushima, date unknown. Mr. 
Teraoka collected a specimen at Nukadake-mura, Tsushima, October 27. Skulls 
from the above specimens are both broken. The coloration of body in Tsushima 
specimens varies from very pale (greyish brown or even golden color) to deep 
reddish brown. Holst obtained a specimen on Tsushima (Thomas, P. Z. S., 
1908, p. 49). 
FAM. SORICID^ 
3. Crocidura coreae Thomas. — Anderson collected it on Tsushima (Thomas, 
P. Z. S., 1908, p. 51). This is one of the Korean forms. 
FAM. RHINOLOPHIDA3 
4. Rhinolophus cornutus cornutus Temminck. — ^Mr. Fukagawa presented to 
me an albino specimen of this form. It was obtained near Izugahara, Tsushima, 
date unknown. Mr. Teraoka collected a female on Wakamiyajima, Iki Island, 
November 2. Holst obtained it on Tsushima (Thomas, P. Z. S., 1908, p. 49). 
*5. Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum nippon Temminck. — An albino specimen 
was presented to me by Mr. Fukagawa. It was obtained near Izugahara, Tsu- 
shima. It is probably a new addition to the mammal fauna of Tsushima.
