Abstract
The pupae of P. napi, when developed from larvae exposed at the critical time to lights of different colors, are influenced in their pigmentation like those of their congeners P. brassicae and P. rapae. As Durken and Brecher found in the case of P. brassicae, the green pupal color, acquired under the influence of orange light, is inherited. The work of these investigators is therefore confirmed.
