Extract

In the first paper of this series (10)1, Keen and the present writer discussed work by earlier authors on the approximate specification of the nature of a soil by a single soil constant, in place of a detailed analysis, and described experimental work designed to show the significance of a number of simple physical measurements. The chief objects of the present paper are to describe the results obtained with such measurements as applied to a number of Natal soils, and to discuss the value of some other easily obtained physical data as a means of specifying the nature of a soil. Work of this type was discussed at the International Congress of Soil Science at Washington in 1927, and it was resolved that co-operative work on an international basis should be undertaken.
