Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) is a member of the deer family but in China, since her olden days, it was considered to be a mysterious animal whose hoofs resemble somewhat to that of cattle, its head to that of horse, its body to that of ass, and its antlers to that of deer but it does not belong to any of these. Since it became extinct in China, there is no way of ascertaining its native habitat. Those first discovered in China were found in the Imperial Park in Peking where the herd was extirpated by 1900. In 1888 a pair from Peking reached the Uéno Zoological Garden, Tokyo and gave birth to two offspring while one, a female, reached its maturity. Unfortunately however, all the four died one after another toward the end of the Meiji Era, thus no living individual could be found in the Orient.Specimens of Père David's deer preserved in Japan to-day are as follows:-1) A mounted head of a male with antlers and a skull of another with abnormal antlers are preserved in Dr. Hachisuka's collection.2) A complete skeleton of a male a and a skull with antlers are preserved in the National Science Museum, Tokyo.3) A mounted female and an antler are preserved in the museum of the Gakushâin University, Tokyo.In the present article the author fully explains the details of specimens preserved in Japan to-day, introduction and status in the Japanese zoo, the past history in China and subsequent waning of its tribe, reasons why it was considered mysterious, and other points of interest.

The crocodilians are not the Japanese animals but formerly they were included in the fauna of our country as the estuarine crocodiles live in Palao Islands, Micronesia which were at that time under Japanese Mandate.I found three examples, old and new, among the literature about the crocodiles which were found drifting in the neighbouring sea of Japan but the reason why they drifted this far is unknown.The first crocodile was caught in 1744 off the coast of Iwojima I., Kagoshima Pref. It was presented to the then Feudal Lord Shimazu, the head of Satsuma clan. This was presumably an estuarine crocodile.The second one was a crocodile caught at Amami-Oshima I., Kagoshima Pref. in February 1800. There exists a color painting of this crocodile made at that time from which I can clearly identify it as an estuarine crocodile.The third one was caught in a fishing net off the Toyama Bay, Toyama Pref. in November 1932. This was perhaps the same species.No live crocodilians were introduced in this country before the Meiji Era. But during the Taishô and Shôwa Era crocodiles, alligators and gavials were brought in one after the other to the zoo of Japan.

While there are a few reports on myriapod fauna of Tôhoku District (the Northern Part of Honshû), there seems to be no report on myriapods of Towada District. Towada District here, is meant by the area around the big lake, Towada which measures 48km. round, spreading over Aomori and Akita Prefectures. The junior author, Shinohara, had a chance to visit the Lake and, although he could collect only five species of Diplopods and four species of Chilopods, he was lucky in founding among them two new species. Descriptions on them is stated herebelow. What is learnt as a result of consideration on generic diagnoses of Genus Kopidoiulus and Genus Ikahoiulus is also stated. We also added remarks on myriapods found in Irimizu Limestone Cave, Fukushima Prefecture.Epanerchodus towadaensis Shinohara sp. nov.Body length about 18-28mm, width of postcephalic somites 2.5-3.5mm. General color of dorsum darkish brown but legs and somites are yellowish brown. Collum semicircular.Carinae are more or less narrow and produced at caudal end in a short after about the sixth postcephalic plate, and more strongly produced in posterior segments.Tibiotarsus of gonopods of male clubbed with distal portion of it divide in two blades. Distal end of main blade is a little inflated and short bifurcated, but shorter blade rolled outside. Femuroprocess large, and horn long and slender.Holotype: a male (body length 25mm) obtained at Towada, Aomori Prefecture on Oct. 9, 1955. Allotype: a female (body length 28mm). Data same as above. Type specimens were collected by Shinohara and are preserved in his collection.Fusiulus komatsui Shinohara sp. nov.Body length about 17mm. Body width about 1.0mm. General colour brownish black and legs are yellow with darkish brown spots. Number of segments 48 in male. Repugnatorial pores light yellow, fixed the position behind the suture of segments.Setae of the first pair of legs are (1)+(3-4)+(3+5). Inner base and distal end of the second joint of the first pair of legs are areolate, and process of the knee is projected slightly. Penis bifurcate and projects over the anterior margin of coxae of the second pair of legs.Pregonopod of male resembles to that of F. quadratus, but inner angle of distal margin more or less like a protuberance. Postgonopod with thin blades on distal end, and outside of it with two uncertain processes but without cilia on the whole surface of gonopods.Holotype: a male obtained at Towada on Oct. 9, 1955 by Shinohara. The type is preserved in Shinohara's collection.

It was Late Tani (1905) who recorded scientifically Euterpnosia chibensis, one of the remarkable cicadas in Japan. She gave a new Japanese name "Himé-haruzemi", because it looked like "Haruzemi" Terpnosia vacua but somewhat smaller and more graceful. The scientific name, however, was not clear and it was described as Gn? sp?. In 1917, over ten years had passed since then, Dr. S. Matsumura announced that it was a new genus and species, Euterpnosia chibensis, appointing "Mt. Yawata in the Prov. Chiba" as the type locality. (note: "Mt. Yawata" is not right; it should be called Hachiman-yama Hill.) He distinguished Euterpnosia chibensis from other allied genera, that is, Kamalata, Terpnosia, Rustia, etc. because of the characteristic wart-like tubercule on both sides of the male's fourth abdominal segment. It may as well be regarded that there is no doubt today about the scientific name of this species.Genus Euterpnosia is speciated into many species in Formosa today, and among all the species of the genus Euterpnosia, Euterpnosia chibensis is distributed most northerly. Euterpnosia chibensis is distributed from Ryukyu up to the Mainland, and it is of so-called the Oriental element and the limit of its coming up to north is, to some extent, similar to the one of Papilio helenus nicconicolens, Cryptotympana japonensis, etc. The areas of generation of this cicada are discontinuous in the Mainland, the period of lively singing of the imago is short and it has a queer habit of singing in chorus noisily by great number. It has also a characteristic shape and is one of the rare cicadas of Japan; There is even a folklore on this species at Kataniwa in Ibaraki Pref. as stated below."Once upon a time there was a rich saké-brewer living close to the Hachiman Shrine. Like other rich people, great misers were they, especially the old wife, who was so stingy that she thought nothing of giving the other some pain if it was for the sake of money. One summer evening, an old priest came and begged her a meal. But the woman, perceiving his poor clothers, said to him very rudely; "You beggar priest, don't approach. If I have any food to eat, I would rather take it myself than give it to a stranger like you. You'd better drink water only, and say your beads. Go away right now."The priest answered, "Well, I see you will not spare me a meal though you have plenty at hand, but have used such abusive languages at me, telling me to live only on water and on beads. Then, woman, you live on water and take body of a cicada." Thus saying aloud, the priest pointed to an old big pasania which stood in the grounds of the Hachiman Shrine.And lo! the old woman disappeared at that instant, and thousands of cicadas were found instead sitting on the old tree. Now it is said that the priest was indeed His Worship Kobo in disguise who was then staying at the Tokuzoji Temple."I planned in summer, since 1952, to visit in order the northern and east-northern limits of this species and also other places of generation of this species in Kantô area, and could visit five of them. This is about the observation I made then. The known homes of this species in Niigata, Ibaraki and Chiba prefectures are as follows. At the place with a notemark it is appointed as a natural monument and preserved. There would be no instances in the foreign countries of cicada's being appointed as a national natural monument.

In 1942 Takakuwa and Takashima reported five specimens of Polyxenidae (Pselaphognatha, Diplopoda) which was collected by Mr. Toma at Shuri on Oki-nawa Island. They identified them as Monographis kraepelini, the species of which was established by Attems based on a specimen from Buitenzorg, Java. This record constitutes the first occurrence of Polyxenidae from the Japanese Islands. Soon after the Pacific war, Mr. Gamo who was a young graduate of the Middle School at that tine succeeded in finding the Polyxenidae on Enoshima Island in Kanagawa Prefecture where those tiny animals were creeping on rocks near the seashore. They are no doubt a species of Pselaphognatha and his finding attracted much attention among scientists and amateur entomologists which gradually lead to further discoveries frog various parts of Japan. Mr. Miyosi, the myriapodologist, considered these Japanese specimens as the fourth and new species of the Genus Monographis and subsequently named them as takakuwai and further a new subspecies nigricans was described, We propose here the third subspecies of M. takakuwai based on specimens collected at Kinnta, Tokyo:- Monographis takakuwai kinutensis Haga n. subsp. This new race is closely related to the typical takakuwai and nigricans but differs from them by having a different body length;colour of dorsal scuta, dor-sal side of head, ventral side of body and ambulatory legs, the setae of both dorsal and lateral parts; colour of dorsal streaks and caudal hair bundle; and number of barbed hooks in the caudal hair bundle.

The Gotô Islands are under the administration of Nagasaki Prefectural Government in Kyûshû District. These islands consist of more than one hundred isles scattered over an area of 100km. to the northwest of the main island Fukaé, which is situated approximately 92km. away in the due west of the Port Nagasaki. Gotô means five islands, and they are represented by the five principal islands among the above isles, namely, Fukaé, Naru, Wakamatsu, Nakadôri and Uku.The investigation on the fauna of these islands has scarcely been made so far, and I have referred in my report to the following questions:1. Mammals of the Gotô Islands-I have made a detailed report especially on Musk Shrew Suncus murinus (Linné) brought into the island Fukae from Nagasaki and its neibourhood after the War. It seems that these Musk Shrew were brought in with the ships' cargo, etc. and came to breed there.2. Regarding reptiles, there seem to be at least 15 species including Sea Turtles and Sea Serpents. I have given a key to discriminate these species.3. On amphibians: 7 species are now known. However, the number of species is supposed to be increased with further investigation in the future.4. Among insects, cicadas and butterflies are known to considerable extent. 6 species of cicadas have already been put on record so far. As for butterflies, 45 species have been recorded, the number of the species will be increased up to 60, there being some other common species which have not yet been collected. The noteworthy ones among the above species of butterfly are Papilio memnon thunlergii Siebold, Celastrina argiolus ladonides (de l'Orza), Everes lacturnus kawaii Matsumura, Precis orithya (Linné), Hypolimnas misippus (Linnré), etc

Early in 1955, the International Union for the Protection of Nature, whose head office is in Brussels, Belgium, wrote a letter of inquiry to the Japanese member organization, the National Parks Association, in which they said that they wanted the animals and plants which were facing the danger of extinguishment, how the situation stood and what they were doing to protect them. In reply to it, the National Parks Association informed them that they were Common Otter Lutra lutra lutra (Linné) and Yezo Sable Mustela zibellina brachyura (Temminck et Schlegel)-mammal-; Japanese Stork Ciconia ciconia boyciana Swinhoe, Japanese Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon (Temminck), Tristram's Woodpecker Dryocopus richardsi Tristram, Eastern Ring-dove Streptopelia decaocto stoliczkae (Hume) and Steller's Albatross Diomedea albatrus Pallas-fowl-; Parnassius eversmanni daisetsuzana Matsumura-insect-.Among the five species of fowl, Steller's Albatross are expected to have a hopeful future, as the measures of protection for them have fortunately proved to be effective. The same thing goes for Eastern Ring-dove, though not so hopeful as Steller's Albatross. As regards Tristram's Woodpecker in Tsushima Island, however, they are supposed to have died out rather than they are in the danger of extinguishment. Those which need measures of protection badly, are the Japanese Stork in Hyôgo Pref. (less than 20), and the Japanese Crested Ibis in Niigata Pref. and Ishikawa Pref. (less than 30).The one which should be noted as well as the Japanese Crested Ibis, is the White Ibis Threskiornis melanocephala (Latham). We would protect it if there were one, but in Japan, there remains none of them. There supposed to be very few of them in Riu Kiu and Formosa. It is clear, when referring to the old records, that they had come as summer visitants to the Mainland of Japan-chiefly to the southern part of Kantô Area-and seem to have had their own breeding place before the Meiji Era. Namely, before the Meiji Era, they are supposed to have lived, built their nests and bred in Sagiyama (that means Egrets' Hill), Noda, Saitama Pref., together with some species of Egret and Night-heron. Egrets in Sagiyama are in good condition, and they have now come up to 10, 000 in number, being a speciality of the place. White Ibis, however, have disappeared entirely, and we miss them very much. Although we do not know exactly the reason of their disappearance, it might have driven them out of our country that they were shot directly they had come into man's sight, together with the fact that originally there were not so many that had come over to Japan. A stuffed skin of White Ibis which was caught in Kameido on Jan. 22, 1883 is kept in our institute, and this is considered to be the last White Ibis which was caught in Tokyo. It must be noted, however, that the members of the Japan Bird-lovers' Association caught in their sight on May 23, 1954, near the shore of Shinhama, Chiba Pref., a White Ibis flying toward them and flying off. Although this species has now almost no connection with Japan, yet it makes us very happy to see one of them come this way on an unexpected occasion
