Among  this  number  are  some,  such  as  absinthium,  salvia,  etc., 
which  do  not  grow  wild,  but  which  are  cultivated  by  these  people. 
There  are  some  other  official  drugs  which  grow  in  this  locality- 
concerning  which  no  information  could  be  obtained,  viz.: 
*Serpentaria, 
The  lack  of  information  concerning  some  of  these  drugs  may  be  due 
to  the  fact  that  they  have  names  for  them  which  are  not  generally 
known;  indeed,  the  confusion  of  common  names  was  one  of  the  dif- 
ficulties encountered  in  making  inquiries  about  certain  drugs,  and  it 
would  be  an  interesting  subject  for  some  one  to  take  up.  Another 
reason  for  some  of  these  drugs  not  being  known  is  probably  due  to 
the  fact  that  these  people  live  in  New  Jersey,  and  the  plants,  while 
common  on  the  Pennsylvania  side  of  the  Delaware,  are  rarely  met 
with  on  the  New  Jersey  side. 
The  fact  remains  that,  out  of  sixty-nine  official  drugs  concerning 
which  inquiries  were  made,  forty-seven  were  obtainable.
