discovery was not a surprise, as this region is between the former 
known localities. However, several days ago, Mr. Bicknell placed 
his: collections of Polygonum for the past season at my disposal, 
and to my great surprise I find that he has secured P. cristatum 
from two stations in the Moshaloo Woods, near Riverdale, New 
York.

This Japanese species is gradually establishing itself in ase 
Eastern States. It has become naturalized about Philadelphia, 
Pa., and Schenectady, N. Y., and during the present season Mr. T. 
H. Kearney, Jr., has found it established at Atlantic Highlands, 
New Jersey. 
Three species, Polygonum polycenemoides, P. setosum and P. equt- 
setiforme, natives of Eastern Europe, Western Asia and Northern 
Africa, have been found established by Mr. Bicknell,yin the ruins of 
the Yonkers Carpet Mill. The fruit has been introduced from the 
above cited region in wool which was used at the mill. F binsit? 
species are the kind that take a firm hold in such situations as 
they are now growing in at Yonkers, whence they may spread and 
eventually become naturalized.
