Abstract
An explanation is offered for the fact that the toxic levels of molybdenum occurring in the Lower Lias soils of Somerset have not been found in soils of Glamorgan, apparently derived from the same zones of the Lower Lias. This is attributable to the parent rock being free of the abnormally high levels of molybdenum found in Somerset, which in turn probably results from the Glamorgan Lias having been laid down close to the contemporary coastline.Soils high in molybdenum are to be expected in the Vale of Marshwood (Dorset), but owing to the topography of this district they probably occur in such small pockets as to cause no serious trouble.
