by other structural points, and by the character of the pupa, 
when known, corresponded generally with those inferred from 
a comparison of the markings. The bearing of the geo- 
graphical distribution of existing Pierine forms upon the pre- 
ceding phylogenetic conclusions was then considered, and it 
was shown that the facts of distribution, taken in connection 
with what was known of the means of transit possible for 
insects, and especially of the migratory habits of certain 
Pierines, were in general accordance with the same con- 
clusions. Looking at the whole assemblage of the Pierine as 
at present existing, Dr. Dixey said he was of opinion that the 
ereat bulk of them belonged to the stock headed by Catasticta 
in the New World, and Delias and Metaporia in the Old. There 
were, however, still existing relics of a perhaps more ancient 
Pierine fauna, among which might be reckoned Flodina, 
Nychitona, and the African species of Mylothris,
