Pieris napi L. 



Verity 1 has treated, at length, the various races and forms of this species. 

 More recently, however, Barnes and McDunnough 2 have discussed the forms 

 of napi which occur in the extreme north. 



No specimens of this species were collected by members of the Canadian 

 Arctic Expedition but it is of interest to include here records of specimens in 

 the Canadian National collection, which were collected by other explorers.
