In 1904, Sir James Blyth, Bart., a member of the Cambridge University Board of Agricultural Studies, offered a Scholarship tenable by a student who had taken the University Diploma in Agriculture, for the purpose of enabling him to spend a year in research. The offer was gratefully accepted, and the Scholarship was awarded to Mr F. W. Foreman. Mr Foreman submitted as a subject for investigation the Composition of certain of the Soils of Cambridgeshire. This subject was approved, and the work was carried out in the winter months of 1904—1905. The results are given in the following pages.
