MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
From: The Department of Biogeography and Geomorphology, Australian National
University.
Storage, analysis and plotting of pollen data at the Canberra laboratory
has been done with POLSTA, an interactive time series analysis package
developed by Dr. David Green (Green 1983, Pollen et Spores 25:531-540). The
feasibility of adapting POLSTA for use on personal computers is being
explored, and comment on the desirability of such a step would be welcomed by:
Gary Dolman, Biogeography and Geomorphology, Australian National University,

and others, comprising 1719 levels and 1080 taxa. AZERTY@FRMOP11.
