Notes	Karyotypes of the Japanese harvest mouse, Micromys nzinutus japonicus, from two populations occurring in Fukuoka and the Tsushima Islands, were examined in detail using conventional, G- and C-band stainings. There was no difference in karyotype both between the two populations and within each population. The karyotypes in the two populations concerned were much the same as in other Japanese and Eurasian populations. Thus, it may be said that the harvest mouse has a quite conservative karyotype in spite of its wide geographical distribution. So far as it is based upon the karyotype, this conservatism does not support a specific division of the Japanese harvest mouse (M. japonicus) from the Eurasian one (M. minutus), which was proposed by Tokuda (1941), thus we regard the Japanese harvest mouse as M. minutus; moreover, M. minutus aokii (Kuroda, 1922) from Tsushima seems to be a synonym of M. minutus japonicus (Thomas, 1905) from the mainland of Kyushu.
