2. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 
The species of termites recorded as occurring in Japan and its territories 
are rather large in number (16 species according to M. Oshima, and 13 or 
15 species according to Holmgren and Hozawa). As a matter of fact, the 
termite fauna is remarkably rich in the subtropical and tropical regions, so 
that all of the reported species are found in Formosa 1 , while in Japan proper 2 
1 The island of Formosa lies at the southern extremity of the Empire of Japan, extending 
from 120° 2' to 122° 6' E. of Greenwich, and in latitude from 21° 45' to 25° 37'N.; the area 
covering 13,908 square miles. 
2 Conventionally we divide the Empire into Japan proper, Formosa, Saghalien, and Chosen 
(Korea)—Chosen being a peninsula of the continent, Saghalien an island at the northern ex¬ 
tremity, and Japan proper the other islands forming the main portion of the Empire.
