Abstract
Many papers have been reported of soil minerals by means of the thermal differential analysis because of its great advantage. There have been. however, a quite few papers reported of soil humus, even though the humus is a constituent of soil that plays a very important role particularly in the field of soil fertility in itself and in combining with soil minerals. One of the difficulties of the study of humus appears to be due to the complexity of its structure. The report made in this paper will be the first step in the study of the structure of humus. In other words, the object of this paper is to check what kind of curve will be obtained by the thermal analysis method when soil humus is used.
