Abstract
The soils of North Wales have been studied by the writer during the past four and a half years in field and laboratory. A number of types have been recognised and studied. Further work is necessary to elucidate the properties of the types already identified and to establish fresh types. The purpose of the present paper is to give an account of the soils most typical of the area, namely the soils derived from material of the Pre-Cambrian, Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian formations in the counties of Anglesey, Carnarvon and Denbigh. In this group are included soils derived from the weathering of local glacial drift, and the associated sandy, alluvial and peaty soils. The soils formed of newer materials, including later Palæozoic soils and Glacial drift of external origin may form the subject of a separate paper.
