Abstract
IN the large Encyclopédie published by Diderot and d'Alembert, vol. xii. p. 224 (edit, in folio) there is mentioned amongst the substances used for poisoning water to catch the fish, l' herbe qu'on appelle l'ALRESE. Littré has no such word, nor anything like it, nor indeed any other lexicographer I am able to consult here. I should be much obliged for any information on this name, or the plant referred to.
