Abstract
Summary: Laterite at the type locality, Angadipuram in south India, consists of a mottled, vermicular, and indurated horizon in a red‐earth type of soil associated with gneiss. The soil profile also contains deeper horizons of mottled and pale coloured clays and has a ground‐water table. The laterite is associated with a number of discrete land surfaces described in detail by Lake (1890).
