 tumid. Cotyledons incumbent. Filaments without teeth. 

 Brown. 



Mr. Brown founds this genus on the Myagrum fativum of 

 Linnsus, and the M. (not Alyjfum) aujlriacmn of Jacq. 

 Auftr. t. III. The firft is the only Cameima of Crantz 

 above cited, who diftinguiflies it from Alyssum, (fee that 

 article, ) by the conneftion between the Jlyle and the valves 

 of the pouch, thejiyle of Alyfum being conneded with the 

 parMion only. Mr. Brown's diftiniftion depends chiefly on 

 the pofition of the cotyledons ; for every Alyjfum has not 

 toothed filaments. Of Myagrum aujlrtacum we do not feel 

 competent to judge, but we are difpofed to keep the fativum 

 an Alylfum, as in Fl. Brit, and Engl. Bot. t. 1254, unlefs 

 it could be fet apart along with AlyJJmn utricvlatum of Linn.

CANAL, col. 14, 1. 44, add — The principal interior 

 canals that are already ( 1 8 1 8 ) completed in the United 

 States are, the Middlefex canal, uniting the waters of the 

 Merrimack river with the harbour of Bofton, and the 

 canal Carondelet, extending from Bayou St. Jchn, a poft 

 of delivery in the Miffiffippi diftrift, to the fortifications or 

 ditch of New Orleans, and opening internal communication 

 with lake Pontchartrain. The union of this canal by lakes 

 with the MifTiffippi would, independently of other advan- 

 tages, enable the government to tranfport with facihty and 

 efteft the fame naval force for the defence both of Mif- 

 fiflippi and lake Pontchartrain, the two great avenues by 

 which New Orleans may be approached from the fea. In 

 18 16 or 1817, the flate legillature of New York paffed 

 afts, appropriating funds for opening a navigable communi- 

 cation between the lakes Erie and Champlain and the 

 Atlantic ocean, by means of canals, connefted with the 

 Hudfon river. When this fcheme, aftually begun, is ac- 

 complifhed, and a communication opened by canals and 

 lakes between lake Erie and the navigable waters of Hud- 

 fon's river, and alfo between lake Champlain and thefe 

 waters, the ftate of New York will foon become, in itfelf, 

 a powerful empire.
