Thus in my specimens of R. temporaria from Yezo, the length of the foot, measured from inner metatarsal tubercle to tip of longest toes, exactly equals one-half the distance from anterior border of eye to vent, while in R. japonica the length of the foot, similarly measured, is about two-thirds the same distance. I have compared our three Japanese specimens from Yezo with specimens of corresponding sex and size from Norway (for instance, No. 25339, Bergen) and find no tangible differences. The web.
