 (Part A Natural History; Part B Archaeology and Local History) were from volumes 70 to 75 published 

 under separate titles as The Wiltshire Natural History Magazine and The Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine. 

 With volume 76 the magazine reverted to its combined form and title. The cover title 'Wiltshire Heritage 

 Studies' (volume 93) and 'Wiltshire Studies' (volume 94 onwards) should not be used in citations. The title 

 of the journal, The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, remains unchanged.
