A Survey of Natural History Collections in New Brunswick
A survey of natural history collections in New Brunswick was carried out in1984-85. It revealed 11 institutions and nine individuals maintaining whatare considered 43 discrete collections of an estimated 401,576 naturalhistory specimens. Those categories of collections best represented inprovince were botany, entomology and geology. This survey suggests certaintaxa are markedly under-represented in provincial collections -non-vascular plants, freshwater invertebrates, and terrestrial invertebratesexclusive of insects. Natural history collections will have to be betterfunded and more adequately staffed if the full potential of provincialscientific collections is to be realized in the future.

The Creative City of Saint John
This book presents a wide-ranging portrayal of the creative work done in Saint John in the hundred years following Confederation. Beautiful watercolour and oil paintings, early fossil discoveries, successful bestselling authors and other examples of the creative city are brought together in this volume. Among the many surprising and interesting accounts: the contribution to Maritime natural history made by a butterfly found in the city, the role of the city's Great Fire in generating a host of visual artists documenting the urban landscape, and the little-known Hollywood connection that made the city a hotbed of film production — in the early 1900s.
