The online project Herbaria@home involves volunteers digitising the information from the herbarium sheets held by museums and universities. The results to date, relating to Staffordshire specimens, have been examined. Not all specimens were correctly identified by the original recorder. In particular the names applied to some Rosa and many Rubus specimens conflict with modern taxonomy. However, there are several important early records not included in this or earlier Floras. As a consequence, the previously thought earliest date for some taxa needs to be corrected; and a few significant later records need to be added. The resulting modified species accounts are given below.

    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 144, 1987, pp. 29-33, 5 figs. Printed in Northern Ireland Magnetic mapping of the Butterton Dyke: an example of detailed geophysical surveying W.T. C. SOWERBUTTS Department of Geology, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK Abstract: A detailed vertical gradient magnetic survey of part of a small intrusion known as the Butterton Dyke has been made with the aid of a microcomputer-based data gathering system. The results of over 16500 magnetic measurements made by one person in less than a day have given results which reveal a detailed pattern of magnetic anomalies. From these it is possible to trace the course of two dykes for a distance of over 300 m, and identify places where they change direction and showsmall offsets. The advantage of making vertical gradient rather than total fieldmagnetic measurements include a faster surveying speed and better resolution of near-surface anomalies. This paper describes the execution and results of a detailed seconds. One reason for making a magnetic survey of part magnetic survey made over part of a Tertiary intrusion in of the Butterton Dyke was to see if useful information could Staffordshire, England.
