Introduced. This, as well as Papaver argemone, will deserve only a passing notice in your "State Catalogue." Thlaspi arvense has been with us for only a few years, but is unable to maintain its ground, in consequence of being thinned out by botanists, trodden upon and perhaps eaten by goats, and in various other ways disturbed. It is now disappearing entirely from the locality. Oct. 21, 1867. E.D.
