Here for the first time we meet with some really good all-round 
soils. Many of the others have been found to be rich in one or two 
of the three essential inorganic plant-food constituents, but in all 
cases this has been counterbalanced by a lack of one, frequently of 
two constituents, and phosphoric oxide has generally been the one 
lacking. Now we come across a few samples which are in every 
respect satisfactory, and especially prominent are Nos. 216 and 226. 
The former of these two soils is typical of the Gouritz River basin ; 
the richness of the latter is tempered by its being brack. In respect 
of the fertilising elements the samples from 212 to 226 inclusive 
constitute the most satisfactory group of the entire range of soils 
examined. Though it would be too much to say that addition of 
suitable fertilisers will not improve their quality, yet it is certain
