The previously published data, to which reference has already been 
made, and which it is proposed to discuss in connection with the 
analyses presented in the foregoing table, comprise the analyses of 
twenty-four samples, representing twelve soil types distributed in 
four soil provinces. 
The results of these analyses, for major constituents only, are pre- 
sented in Table 2.
