In the present paper my object has been to apply to 
the study of the subfamily Pierinz the methods which I 
used in investigating the phylogenetic relations of another 
group of Lepidoptera, as recorded in a former communi- 
cation to this Society.* I have in the first place 
endeavoured to work out the homology of the various
