Habitat Description and 1981 Census During the summer of 1981 a survey and census of Canadian Furbish Lousewort populations was com- pleted. (Day, R. T. 1981. New Brunswick Ecological Reserves 1981 Field Work and Plant Collecting. Internal Report, Department of Natural Resources, Lands Branch, Ecological Reserves Program. Cen- tennial Building, Fredericton, New Brunswick. 18 pp). The location of populations is given in Figures 1 and 2. Site 1 was discovered by Mr. H. Hinds in 1977 near a railway embankment (46°44'N, 67°43"W), at the confluence of the Saint John and Aroostook Rivers. This habitat was atypical for this species. Here the plants were found along 25 meters of a steep bank beside a railway track. Brush cutting by a railway crew was evident from the remaining tree stumps. The rem- oval of shrub and tree growth seemed to benefit the herbaceous layer by reducing deep shade. My 1981 census gave a total of 80 plants (all age classes included). Stirrett (1980) reported "about 33 plants" from a 1978 count. Site 2 is along the east bank of the Saint John River immediately south of the Little River delta (46°52'N,.
