Abstract
The mammalian deposits of the Hanaizumi bed at Kanamori, Hanaizumimachi, Northeast Japan, that have been considered of late Pliocene, are concluded to be of late Pleistocene, especially of Wurm glacial age, by means of geomorphological, stratigraphical, palaeontological, archaeological, sedimentological and palaeoclimatological researches. The result of C 14 dating, supporting the view, suggests the Wurm II stage. The close relation of the Hanaizu mi fauna, including Megaceros, Bison etc., to such late Pleistocene continental faunas as the Sjara-Osso-Gol fauna of Inner Mongolia and the Ku-Hsiang-Tung fauna of Manchuria is mentioned. The land connection of the Japanese islands to Asiatic continent might have been maintained up to that time.
