Evolutionary models for massive stars; accounting for rotational mixing effects; do not predict any core-processed material at the surface of B dwarfs with low rotational velocities. Contrary to theoretical expectations; we present a detailed and fully-homogeneous; NLTE abundance analysis of 20 early B-type dwarfs and (sub)giants that reveals the existence of a population of nitrogen-rich and boron-depleted; yet intrinsically slowly-rotating objects. The low-rotation rate of several of these stars is firmly established; either from the occurrence of phase-locked UV wind line-profile variations; which can be ascribed to rotational modulation; or from theoretical modelling in the pulsating variables. The observational data presently available suggest a higher incidence of chemical peculiarities in stars with a (weak) detected magnetic field. This opens the possibility that magnetic phenomena are important in altering the photospheric abundances of early B dwarfs; even for surface field strengths at the one hundred Gauss level. However; further spectropolarimetric observations are needed to assess the validity of this hypothesis. © 2008 ESO;
