 Pan, a term applied to the bed or flooring upon 

 which the cultivated soil lies or is placed. Mr. 

 Marshall, in speaking of the Norfolk soils, remarks, 

 that " immediately under the cultivated soil, a 

 hard crust, provincially ' the pan,' occurs univer- 

 sally. And under this an unfathomable ocean of 

 sand may be considered as the prevailing substra- 

 tum. In some places a hungry gravel, but more 

 frequently an absorbent brick earth is the imme- 

 diate subsoil."
