Abstract

A new brachiopod fauna is described from loose material in central Hokkaido, Japan. Three of the forms present are attributed to the genera Canadospira, Robinsonella and Piarorhynchia. A Carnian age is provisionally suggested, though no faunas of this age are known elsewhere in Japan. The biogeography of the forms is briefly discussed.
